"QV Investors maintained disciplined fundamental investing through Q1 2026 geopolitical volatility that spiked oil prices and pressured technology stocks. The firm recycled capital from overvalued positions into undervalued quality names like Cargojet and Intact Financial while establishing energy exposure through Haliburton."
QV Investors navigated a volatile Q1 2026 marked by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran that disrupted global energy markets, sending Brent crude from $72 to $104 and raising stagflationary concerns. The firm maintained its fundamental research approach, making selective portfolio adjustments across strategies. The Canadian small cap team recycled capital from takeout successes into existing positions including Cargojet, while the global equity team benefited from an early Haliburton position established before the energy shock. Technology stocks faced pressure from AI displacement concerns, creating opportunities in quality names like Rightmove. The team trimmed overvalued positions like Toromont Industries and reinvested in undervalued quality such as Intact Financial. Fixed income positioning emphasized flexibility through higher-rated corporate bonds as credit spreads widened. Private credit market concerns intensified given rapid asset growth reminiscent of pre-financial crisis conditions. The manager emphasizes preparedness for continued volatility while maintaining long-term focus on fundamental value creation rather than attempting to predict geopolitical outcomes.
