PM Capital's Australian fund fell 1.6% in volatile March as rate hikes hit REITs and gold miners faced operational issues. Strong copper performance from BHP and coal gains from Stanmore offset weakness. Managers used market dislocation to add to beaten-down positions, viewing current valuations as attractive despite near-term headwinds.
