The private markets limit in Regulation 28 was increased. Why aren’t more retirement funds and multi-asset funds using it.

27four Style Analysis Q1 2026 https://t.co/vNekDpneVz
Up until February 2026, the JSE and SA styles produced sterling returns, benefitting from positive micro-economic developments in the form of the Rand appreciation, lower inflation and the monumental surge in both gold and PGM’s. With the start of the Iran war in March, markets turned risk-off resulting in a major correction on the JSE not seen since the 2008/9 GFC. The impact across styles was stark, with momentum, quality and rand trackers bearing the brunt of the macro event. Conversely, styles that typically display lower market betas, namely small/mid caps as well as illiquidity offered protection given their lower sensitivity to overall market movements. At the time of writing, a fragile air of stability has emerged given the agreement of a 2-week ceasefire, however the market is still on tenterhooks. If the ceasefire holds, we can expect that oil and inflation expectations will drop which in turn is positive for equities and styles that are typically high beta. Alternatively, if the ceasefire starts to crack, we can expect more of the same seen in March 2026, namely a flight to safety and further local currency and equity market drawdowns. In terms of our model predictions, be it dumb luck or something else, our previous predictions for Q1 2026 manifested (this is a perfect ’told you so’ moment) indicating significant market and style drawdowns. For the next quarter, our forecast models are directionally consistent, however VAR is significantly more bullish. Importantly, both are pointing to a local market recovery, indicating that value and momentum should experience a positive upswing. Not to beat the same drum, all forecasts should be taken with a barrel of salt, hence us always recommending (stressing!) adequate diversification across investment styles.

Financial markets in Q1 2026
An oil shock defined March's market narrative
View market commentary https://t.co/LOpQ6rZn1e
Global financial markets reversed sharply in March. The US-Israel conflict with Iran detonated an energy shock, shattering a constructive pro-cyclical rotation that had been pulling capital into value, cyclicals, and commodities on the back of broadening earnings growth and supportive global macro conditions. Central banks now face a direct collision between the risks of rising inflation and slowing growth.
Strait of Hormuz disruption risks drove Brent crude above $100/bbl – a near-record monthly surge – raising the likelihood of a sustained inflation impulse that pushes rate relief further out. Energy equities surged on the oil price spike, but the rest of the market is pricing in tighter or delayed monetary easing, weighing hardest on the cyclical and commodity-linked sectors that had led the quarter.
