"Capicraft's energy positioning drove strong Q1 performance as geopolitical tensions created supply shock. Manager positioned beyond immediate oil impact, adding agricultural and fertilizer exposure ahead of planting season disruptions."
Capicraft delivered strong performance with the Global Creator returning 11.2% versus ACWI's -2.2% decline, supported by energy exposure amid geopolitical tensions. The manager had positioned for energy upside given attractive valuations and hedging properties, proving prescient when Strait of Hormuz closure created supply shock with 13 million barrels per day shut-in. Beyond immediate energy impact, the manager identified second-order effects including fertilizer and chemical shortages affecting global agriculture ahead of spring planting season. Portfolio actions included reducing equity exposure, adding hedges, and initiating positions in wheat contracts, sugar contracts, fertilizer producers, and Brazilian sugar/ethanol producers. While markets expect quick conflict resolution based on historical TACO moments, the manager remains cautiously positioned for prolonged disruption. Physical supply normalization may take months even after Strait reopens due to shipping logistics and well pressure issues. The manager emphasizes timing mismatch between market pricing and physical realities, noting that underlying supply chain adjustments take time despite market eagerness to move on.
