CBRE Group - March 2026
“The rapid progression of large language models (LLM) from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI has produced significant ripple effects across many industries, with traditional software being at the epicenter, as investors began to question the terminal value of many of these businesses. This was a main contributor of the >16% performance spread between the Russell 1000® Growth Index Information Technology sector (down ~12% in 1Q26) vs its Russell 1000 Value counterpart (up >4% in 1Q26), as well as the indexes as a whole. The Russell 1000 Growth Index was down 10% in the first quarter vs the Russell 1000 Value Index which was up 2%- a dynamic we haven’t seen in many years. As potential disruption from AI spread from software to other parts of the economy, the emergence of the “HALO” trade and investors’ preference for businesses with limited perceived disruption risk quickly gained steam. We saw sectors such as Consumer Staples, Energy, Materials, Utilities, and Real Estate all perform well vs the Russell 1000 Value Index in the first quarter, reversing the underperformance that we have seen over the last three years heading into 2026. Outside of Energy, where companies are benefitting from the increase in the underlying commodity given the conflict in the Middle East, many of the companies in these sectors have seen little fundamental improvement from an earnings perspective but have benefitted from multiple expansion given the shift in investor sentiment. For those that know us well, given our focus on free cash flow and business models that don’t exhibit heavy capital intensity, it should come as little surprise that the rise of the “HALO” trade* and a market preference for companies with “Heavy Assets” was a headwind to performance in the first quarter. While the software sector drew all the headlines around AI disruption risk, capital light businesses across various sectors were hit during the first quarter and our portfolio was not immune. Companies such as Expedia Group, Inc (EXPE), Willis Towers Watson (WTW), ICON Plc (ICLR), Fidelity Information Services (FIS), and CBRE Group, Inc (CBRE) all sold off during the first quarter on the potential long-term risks of artificial intelligence’s impact on the business models.”
CBRE Group - March 2026
“The Fund has held positions in leading real estate services companies for several years (CBRE, JLL, and Savills) as they are not only well- capitalized but have reshaped their business models with significant recurring revenues.”
