Atrium aims to achieve its investment objectives by investing across a range of asset classes on a global basis that provide exposure to different risk factors.
Each asset is included in the Portfolio for its ability to contribute to returns on a stand alone basis.
The investment universe comprises of 3 broad categories - Preservers, Growth Drivers and Diversifiers.
 | PreserversAssets that protect the portfolio during periods of heightened equity market volatility and preserve capital, such as cash, government bonds and high quality investment grade bonds. |
 | Growth DriversAssets that are expected to deliver higher rates of return over time with higher levels of associated volatility (risk). This predominantly comprises equities but also includes other assets that are highly correlated to equities such as listed property and infrastructure. |
 | DiversifiersAssets that generate additional real returns, with performance that is typically uncorrelated to the growth drivers and preservers within the portfolio.Importantly, they are a source of portfolio diversification away from equity market and interest rate risks, such as liquid alternatives and private markets. |

Market update
Global markets were dominated in March by a sharp escalation in geopolitical risk, which drove significant cross-asset volatility as growth and inflation fears clouded the economic outlook.
The primary catalyst was the intensification of conflict in the Middle East, which triggered a substantial energy shock. Oil prices moved above US$100 per barrel during the month, contributing to a rise in inflation expectations and renewed concerns around stagflation (slow growth, high inflation). This was accompanied by a broader increase in global food prices, as higher energy and freight costs flowed through supply chains.
Equity markets were volatile, early in the month global equities remained resilient, trading near highs, supported by still-positive earnings expectations and a constructive growth backdrop. However, as the energy shock intensified, markets experienced drawdowns, particularly in rate-sensitive sectors such as technology, while energy stocks outperformed on higher commodity prices. Dispersion across regions and sectors remained elevated, with emerging markets showing relative resilience year-to-date.
Bond markets reflected the shifting inflation and policy outlook. Globally, yields moved higher through March as investors priced a reduced likelihood of near-term rate cuts, with central banks globally adopting a cautious “on hold” stance in response to uncertainty. The prevailing narrative shifted toward “higher for longer” policy settings, particularly as inflation risks were revised upward and growth expectations modestly downgraded. The Reserve Bank of Australia signalled it was prepared to keep rates restrictive for longer if required. Australia’s lack of energy supply chain resilience was exposed, and the global backdrop of higher inflation risk and policy uncertainty led to a fall in the $A and equity market underperformance versus global equities.
Looking through the geopolitical noise, the global economy continued to exhibit resilient mid-cycle characteristics but is increasingly challenged. Growth remained supported by strong labour markets and earnings, but downside risks increased on inflation fears and tighter financial conditions.
Performance
A sharp sell-off in equities led the Fund lower in March as the Middle East conflict sparked the worst energy shock since the 1970s. The $A fell (US dollar rose) which provided some respite for offshore assets.
Equity markets were universally lower for the month. Hyperion Global Growth Companies Fund outperformed as some US tech names bounced, including ARM Holdings, the US based semiconductor company sitting in the centre of the AI buildout. It saw continued upward revisions to long-term growth expectations tied to AI demand. Antipodes Global Fund underperformed as Europe and cyclical sectors lagged, while Fairlight Global Small and Mid Cap Fund detracted as it tends to avoid the energy and materials sectors where the few bright spots were for the month.
In Australian equities, Firetrail Australian Small Companies Fund underperformed the smaller companies benchmark as its Amplitude Energy bet suffered as a gas well previously touted as a key source of growth was proven to be uncommercial. Ausbil’s energy and mining exposures were a mixed bag for the month with Sandfire Resources weaker on the fall in the copper price, while Origin Energy contributed positively on the rise in energy prices.
The liquid alternatives book held up well despite falls in trend following and global macro strategies. PE Commodities Strategy surged 11% as it was on the right side of some large moves in commodity prices. PE Global FX Alpha also saw strong returns on a US dollar bet versus the $A based on relative economic strength.
Government bond yields rose sharply, and credit spreads widened, hurting many fixed income strategies. The Atrium Enhanced Fixed Income Fund declined.
Portfolio changes
The Fund responded to increased volatility by adjusting hedges in currencies and interest rate duration, reducing Yen and increasing US dollar exposure, and reducing our sensitivity to higher US bond yields. We also increased equity tail risk hedges and took some profits on those at month-end.
Outlook
Despite the March drawdown our base case remains that the global economy is still in a mid-cycle expansion, supported by resilient labour markets, solid corporate earnings and generally healthy private sector balance sheets. Growth momentum, while moderating from prior peaks, remains intact, and we expect risk assets to recover as geopolitical uncertainty stabilises, and markets refocus on underlying fundamentals.
