Investment Insights – March 2026

We’re pleased to share our latest Investment Insights update, a more detailed edition reflecting on recent events and the key forces shaping portfolios as we move through March. 

This month’s key takeaways:

  • Why energy prices, not headlines, remain the real‑time signal of financial market risk 
  • The parallels and key differences between today and the 2022 energy supply shock
  • How our portfolios have weathered recent volatility, with stress testing highlighting resilience against a 2022‑style scenario
  • An opportunity we believe has been overlooked in the “fog of war”
  • Why broader market leadership and rotation remain important themes 

Importantly, portfolios continue to be managed through the same disciplined framework we have used across previous periods of uncertainty, including COVID, the Ukraine war and Liberation Day. The risks change, but the process does not.

We hope you find this update useful. As always, if you would like to discuss how these themes relate to your portfolio, please feel free to get in touch.

Warm regards,

Mackay Private Wealth
