Stability in a troubled market

The month of March was characterized by turmoil in the financial markets. During such periods, one thing becomes clear again: falling markets are not a problem, not having a strategy is the problem.

March again showed that diversification, market-neutral strategies and good timing make the difference in a volatile market. March showed how fragile market sentiment is. An attack on Iran drove up energy prices and interest rates and put pressure on equity markets. Hopes for peace talks briefly led to recovery, but new threatening language toward Iran immediately removed this optimism.

Meanwhile, rising capital market interest rates and concerns surrounding the rapidly expanding private credit market continue to hang over the financial system like a dark cloud.

It is precisely in market conditions such as these that the importance of diversification, risk management and following a consistent strategy becomes clear once again.

Market neutral and Exclusive Signals systems are proving their worth

In this market environment, the market neutral systems once again proved their stabilizing nature, while the Exclusive Signals strategies with their timely movement to cash underscored the value of active risk management and timing.

Results of our systems in March 2026

Our systems once again demonstrated why diversification is essential. Where some equity strategies were under pressure, market neutral and options systems performed stably and positively.

After the war broke out, all Exclusive Signals systems went full cash. This proved to be a strong signal, as equity markets came under further pressure thereafter. The market-neutral systems performed stably during this period and showed a quiet trend.

The Gold Rush One system was under pressure due to the sharp decline in precious metals, but recovered later in the month as precious metal prices picked up.

Our view: don't gamble on direction, but build on structure

• Market-neutral strategies do not depend on market direction
• Option strategies exploit volatility rather than being hit by it

This again underlines our vision: don't gamble on direction, but build on structure.
