"Ameliora navigated Q1 2026 geopolitical crisis with defensive positioning as Middle East conflict drove oil prices up 60% and equity markets negative. Their energy infrastructure, European financials, gold miners, and defense themes showed resilience."
Executive Summary
Ameliora Wealth Management navigated Q1 2026 market volatility driven by Middle East conflict and resulting oil price surge of over 60%. The bombing of Iran by US and Israeli forces disrupted Persian Gulf exports representing 20% of global oil supply, causing major equity indices to turn negative year-to-date. The manager maintains that current oil prices approaching potential $200 per barrel are unsustainable except for Russia and Saudi Arabia, expecting negotiations involving China and India as major Iranian oil buyers. Their defensive positioning proved timely, including shortened fixed income maturities and profit-taking in precious metals. Thematic allocations to global energy infrastructure, European financials, US gold miners, and defense showed relative resilience during the pullback. Despite acknowledging significant geopolitical risks and potential for global recession, the manager remains confident in their cautious approach, noting the world economy is much less oil-dependent than in the 1970s. Corporate profit expectations of 12-17% growth over three years support their neutral equity stance while focusing on facts over fears.
