IN BRIEF: CVC Income notes recent share price fall; energy volatility

17th Mar 2026 18:26

CVC Income & Growth Ltd - investor in senior secured loans and other sub-investment grade corporate credit - Notes recent decline in its share price amid recent geopolitical developments and energy market volatility. The company's investment vehicle manager notes: "The outlook for 2026 was fairly benign at the start of the year, which was reflected in credit spreads. Since then, markets have repriced software risk in both public equity and public credit markets given the fast-paced developments we've seen in artificial intelligence. After the recent developments in the Middle East, markets have also started to price in higher for longer oil prices which could result in a slowdown in growth, but also higher inflation, potential supply chain issues and a reduction in consumer confidence. At this point, it's impossible to say where the conflict is heading. The portfolio continues to generate income in line with expectations, but the marks on the underlying assets move on a daily basis reflecting sentiment around the conflict and global growth. Both public equity and credit markets have repriced since the start of the year, resulting in a small negative NAV performance year to date. This shows that public credit markets are functioning."
