Multiple defense policies in mid-March
As the first quarter of 2026 headed into its final fortnight, investors were looking at a range of threats to their portfolios. These include conflict in the Middle East, stress in private credit markets, the threat of stagflation, rising sovereign debt levels and the ROI on the billions of dollars being spent developing artificial intelligence (AI) and its supporting infrastructure.
Keeping the powder dry as missiles fly
As the latest iteration of the long-running conflict between the Iran and the US entered its second week, flows to many EPFR-tracked fund groups shifted to neutral or went into reverse. Investors remain reluctant to overreact, but the week ending March 11 saw them step up their repositioning in the face of sharply higher energy prices and the impact that may have on inflation. Funds dedicated to Europe, Turkey and India were among those hit by these shifts.
Will Iranian history repeat itself?
A month after the US bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities last June, major US indexes were hitting fresh record highs, Japan’s Nikkei-225 had climbed past the 41,000 point mark, the price of a barrel of WTI oil had fallen back below $70 and the price of gold was marginally higher than it was two days before the strike.

Another round of bricks in the wall of worry
There was a lot for investors to digest going into the final days of February. The implications of the US Supreme Court’s ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The chances of a US strike on Iran. The risks posed by Anthropic’s Claude AI for existing software business models. The possibility that the recent partial gating of a major private capital fund signals wider problems.
