31.3.31.3.USA withdraws – but Hormuz remains closed: The most bullish scenario for energy markets Whilst the media focuses on the end of the war as the catalyst for oil prices, it is paradoxically the opposite that may prove most bullish for energy equities in the medium term: the United States concluding active operations without Hormuz reopening. Why this scenario is different In an active war scenario, markets always carry an embedded ceasefire premium. Every diplomatic headline – even unconfirmed negotiation signals – sends oil lower. We saw this on 25th March when Brent fell 2.2% on a single Trump statement about possible talks, despite Iran immediately rejecting this. Markets trade on perceived probability of resolution, not actual resolution. Should the United States withdraw without Hormuz reopening, this daily ceasefire risk disappears. There is no longer a negotiating party with sufficient leverage to compel Iran. Markets must then begin pricing in structural supply scarcity – and that is a fundamentally different and more durable oil price than a geopolitical risk premium. The physical realities are already severe Brent has surged approximately 55% in March 2026 – a record for the contract since its inception in 1988, according to CNBC. What makes this scenario particularly potent, however, is that disruptions now extend well beyond crude oil. Shell Chief Executive Wael Sawan warned at CERAWeek in Houston that disruptions which began in South Asia have now “moved to Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and then more so into Europe.” LNG, refined products and fertilisers are affected simultaneously – this is no longer merely an oil shock, but a broad commodity shock with inflationary reach. Alternative pipeline routes can only handle a fraction of normal volumes, whilst rerouting tankers around the Cape of Good Hope adds 10–14 days to each delivery, effectively withdrawing capacity from the market. Iran’s logic supports the scenario Without military pressure, Iran has no immediate reason to reopen Hormuz. The strait is their most powerful strategic instrument – but the card’s value presupposes a counterparty to pressure. Without an active military adversary, there is equally no one with whom to negotiate. The result may be a closed strait indefinitely, without war and without peace. What this means for BGF World Energy A2 The fund’s core holdings – Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil – are all integrated energy companies with significant upstream exposure. With sustained $100+ oil and without daily ceasefire noise, earnings visibility for these companies improves markedly. ExxonMobil’s Chief Economist Tyler Goodspeed stated on CNBC that there are “many more probable scenarios in which the strait remains effectively closed harder for longer” than ones in which normal traffic resumes – and Goodspeed was speaking from within one of the fund’s core holdings. The real risk is not peace – it is that $110 oil over time breaks global growth and dampens industrial demand. However, in a scenario where the United States withdraws and Hormuz remains closed, this demand destruction will take time to materialise, whilst the supply scarcity is immediate. What are you watching going forward? Would a US withdrawal without Hormuz reopening change your energy exposure – or is this precisely the scenario you are positioning for?

This morning, Brent for front-month delivery is trading at $115.2/bbl — a level that would have seemed extraordinary just three months ago. The backdrop is well known, but the numbers are sharpening. Standard Chartered estimates the Iran conflict has removed 7.4–8.2 million barrels per day from global supply — with Iraq down 2.9 mb/d, Saudi Arabia 2.0–2.5 mb/d, and meaningful losses from the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar. Critically, all exports that can bypass the Strait of Hormuz have already been rerouted. There is no remaining buffer. Barclays has flagged $150 as a plausible near-term ceiling, and Wood Mackenzie has gone further still, noting that $200/bbl is not outside the realms of possibility in 2026. The EIA’s base case — Brent averaging $91/bbl in Q2 2026, easing as Hormuz flows normalise — represents the soft-landing scenario. But with Iran showing no sign of backing down and Gulf infrastructure continuing to absorb damage, the probability-weighted upside is moving in one direction. For BGF World Energy A2, the implications are direct. Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil — the fund’s core holdings — are generating extraordinary free cash flow at current prices. Every $10 increase in the oil price flows straight to the bottom line of integrated majors. At $125–150/bbl, we are looking at earnings levels not seen since the post-COVID supercycle, compounded by a supply shock far more structural than anything witnessed in 2021–2022. The risk to this thesis is diplomatic resolution. Oil dipped last week on reports of a US diplomatic push toward Iran. Any credible ceasefire or Hormuz reopening agreement would likely send prices sharply lower. That is the key variable to monitor. What do you believe is the most likely oil price range by end of Q2 2026 — below $90, $90–120, or above $120?

- 28.3.28.3.NEW FRONT IN THE IRAN WAR: THE HOUTHIS OPEN FIRE ON ISRAEL One month into the Iran war, the conflict has taken a new and dangerous turn. On Saturday morning, the Houthi militia in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Israel for the first time — and has made clear this is only the beginning. “Our operations will continue until aggression against all resistance fronts ceases,” the group announced via Telegram. The missile was intercepted by Israeli air defences, but the message is unambiguous: Iran’s so-called “axis of resistance” has now been activated across a broad front. Meanwhile, Israeli media report that the IDF carried out extensive strikes against Iranian targets across Tehran overnight, with around ten powerful explosions reported by AFP journalists on the ground. Iran responded with missile attacks on Tel Aviv — one person has been confirmed dead. What makes today’s developments particularly significant for energy markets is the Houthis’ explicit threat to reinstate their naval blockade of the Red Sea and target shipping in solidarity with Iran. The group controls the Bab el-Mandeb strait — the southern gateway to the Suez Canal. A renewed blockade would not only disrupt global shipping; Saudi Arabia relies on pipelines running down to the Red Sea to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, meaning the Houthi threat simultaneously endangers both critical energy corridors. Combined with Iranian strikes on Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain — further pressuring Gulf states — the risk premium on oil remains firmly elevated. BGF World Energy, with substantial holdings in Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil, is directly exposed to precisely this scenario: prolonged geopolitical instability keeping energy prices high. The war is escalating. The position holds. Do you hold exposure to the energy sector — and how do you assess the Houthi variable in your analysis? This does not constitute financial advice. All investments carry risk.

·28.3.Is that positive for this fund? - 28.3.28.3.HOUTHIS READY FOR WAR – IS BAB AL-MANDAB THE NEXT SHIPPING SHOCK? While the Strait of Hormuz is already effectively closed by Iran, Reuters reported on 26 March that Yemen’s Houthi militia has now declared full military readiness. A Houthi leader told Reuters: “We stand fully militarily ready with all options. As for determining zero hour, that is left to the leadership and we will know when the suitable time is to move.” Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi emphasised on Thursday that Yemen cannot remain neutral, and that the movement will use every means at its disposal to confront what he describes as US and Israeli aggression against Iran. Bab al-Mandab – “The Gate of Tears” The next shipping shock may come from the south. Bab al-Mandab is just 29 kilometres wide at its narrowest point and ranks among the world’s most critical trade arteries – oil and LNG from the Gulf bound for the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal passes through here. According to Al Jazeera, an Iranian military official stated on 21 March that any attack on Iran’s oil facilities at Kharg Island would pave the way for destabilising precisely this strait. What does this mean for energy markets? The Atlantic Council warns that a combined closure of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab would deliver a dramatic double supply shock to global oil and gas trade. Hormuz is already crippled. The Houthis have proven their capabilities – they attacked more than 100 vessels in the Red Sea during the Gaza war. The Soufan Center assesses that Houthi intervention would reinforce Iran’s asymmetric warfare strategy by further depleting Israeli and American air defence resources. Investor perspective – BGF World Energy A2 This is scenario two of the energy crisis. The fund holds exposure to global energy majors including Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil – companies that stand to benefit significantly from sustained elevated oil prices. Brent crude has already priced in Hormuz risk; a Houthi escalation would add an entirely new layer of geographic risk premium on top of that. The energy majors benefit on multiple fronts – higher realised oil prices, increased demand for alternative logistics, and strategic storage. The question is not whether the Houthis will enter the war, but when. Analysts at Al Jazeera and the Stimson Center both conclude that intervention is a matter of timing – not an “if.” What do you think – will Bab al-Mandab become the next maritime crisis flashpoint, and has the market already finished pricing in this risk? ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

- 28.3.28.3.Iran’s Rejection Drives Brent Above $112 — BGF World Energy A2 in Strong Tailwind The past 48 hours have confirmed what many investors feared: diplomacy between the United States and Iran has broken down, and oil markets are now pricing in a prolonged conflict with no resolution in sight. Wednesday, 25th March brought a brief window of optimism as ceasefire rumours circulated, triggering a sharp intraday sell-off in Brent crude. By Thursday morning, however, the picture had changed entirely. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi formally rejected the American peace framework, stating that exchanges conducted through intermediaries do not constitute negotiations with the United States. A spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry went further, characterising the 15-point U.S. proposal as unreasonable and a violation of sovereignty, demanding war reparations and the full withdrawal of foreign military forces from the Persian Gulf. The result was a surge of over 5% in Brent on Thursday alone. On Friday, 27th March, Brent Spot was trading at $107.34 per barrel at 20:58 CET (source: DN Investor), with an intraday high of $107.39 and a low of $103.28 against an opening of $103.67. The intraday chart tells a compelling story: a sharp morning spike towards $109 on Iran headlines, a swift retreat around 09:00 as peace rumours briefly took hold, followed by a steady and sustained recovery throughout the afternoon and evening — textbook headline-trading in a market uncertain whether to trust diplomacy. WTI briefly touched the psychologically significant $100 level during the session and closed the week at $99.64. President Trump announced on Thursday evening a 10-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure through to 6th April, stating that talks were proceeding very well. Tehran has yet to respond. The supply picture is now structurally fragile. According to Rystad Energy, the global system has shifted from buffered to brittle following weeks of sustained disruption: nearly 17.8 million barrels per day of oil and fuel flows through the Strait of Hormuz have been affected, with approximately 500 million barrels lost in total since the conflict escalated. Iraq declared force majeure on all foreign-operated oilfields on 20th March, with Basra output cut from 3.3 million barrels per day to roughly 900,000 — Iraq being OPEC’s second-largest producer. OPEC+ responded with a token increase of just 206,000 barrels per day for April, a figure wholly insufficient to offset Hormuz-related losses. For BGF World Energy A2 — broadly exposed to international energy majors including Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil — this environment represents a highly favourable combination of elevated pricing power and constrained supply. Each of these companies carries direct earnings exposure to sustained high oil prices. TotalEnergies is trading near all-time highs in the range of €78–79, and Equinor (EQNR) delivered quarterly earnings well ahead of analyst estimates in its most recent reporting period. The energy sector stands as one of the strongest-performing globally in 2026. The principal risk remains a sudden and credible diplomatic breakthrough. Yet Tehran’s messaging this week has been unambiguous: Iran is not prepared to negotiate on American terms. The war premium is not a temporary feature of this market — it is structural, and priced in for the foreseeable future. The 6th April deadline on Trump’s pause will be the next key catalyst to watch. Are you currently positioned in the energy sector, and what is your strategy should Brent approach $120 per barrel? This is not financial advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Always invest based on your own assessment and risk tolerance.

- 28.3.28.3.NEW FRONT IN THE IRAN WAR: THE HOUTHIS OPEN FIRE ON ISRAEL One month into the Iran war, the conflict has taken a new and dangerous turn. On Saturday morning, the Houthi militia in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Israel for the first time — and has made clear this is only the beginning. “Our operations will continue until aggression against all resistance fronts ceases,” the group announced via Telegram.

While the Strait of Hormuz is already effectively closed by Iran, Reuters reported on 26 March that Yemen’s Houthi militia has now declared full military readiness. A Houthi leader told Reuters: “We stand fully militarily ready with all options. As for determining zero hour, that is left to the leadership and we will know when the suitable time is to move.” Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi emphasised on Thursday that Yemen cannot remain neutral, and that the movement will use every means at its disposal to confront what he describes as US and Israeli aggression against Iran. Bab al-Mandab – “The Gate of Tears” The next shipping shock may come from the south. Bab al-Mandab is just 29 kilometres wide at its narrowest point and ranks among the world’s most critical trade arteries – oil and LNG from the Gulf bound for the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal passes through here. According to Al Jazeera, an Iranian military official stated on 21 March that any attack on Iran’s oil facilities at Kharg Island would pave the way for destabilising precisely this strait. What does this mean for energy markets? The Atlantic Council warns that a combined closure of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab would deliver a dramatic double supply shock to global oil and gas trade. Hormuz is already crippled. The Houthis have proven their capabilities – they attacked more than 100 vessels in the Red Sea during the Gaza war. The Soufan Center assesses that Houthi intervention would reinforce Iran’s asymmetric warfare strategy by further depleting Israeli and American air defence resources. Investor perspective – BGF World Energy A2 This is scenario two of the energy crisis. The fund holds exposure to global energy majors including Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil – companies that stand to benefit significantly from sustained elevated oil prices. Brent crude has already priced in Hormuz risk; a Houthi escalation would add an entirely new layer of geographic risk premium on top of that. The energy majors benefit on multiple fronts – higher realised oil prices, increased demand for alternative logistics, and strategic storage. The question is not whether the Houthis will enter the war, but when. Analysts at Al Jazeera and the Stimson Center both conclude that intervention is a matter of timing – not an “if.” What do you think – will Bab al-Mandab become the next maritime crisis flashpoint, and has the market already finished pricing in this risk? ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

- 28.3.28.3.Iran’s Rejection Drives Brent Above $112 — BGF World Energy A2 in Strong Tailwind The past 48 hours have confirmed what many investors feared: diplomacy between the United States and Iran has broken down, and oil markets are now pricing in a prolonged conflict with no resolution in sight. Wednesday, 25th March brought a brief window of optimism as ceasefire rumours circulated, triggering a sharp intraday sell-off in Brent crude. By Thursday morning, however, the picture had changed entirely. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi formally rejected the American peace framework, stating that exchanges conducted through intermediaries do not constitute negotiations with the United States. A spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry went further, characterising the 15-point U.S. proposal as unreasonable and a violation of sovereignty, demanding war reparations and the full withdrawal of foreign military forces from the Persian Gulf. The result was a surge of over 5% in Brent on Thursday alone. On Friday, 27th March, Brent Spot was trading at $107.34 per barrel at 20:58 CET (source: DN Investor), with an intraday high of $107.39 and a low of $103.28 against an opening of $103.67. The intraday chart tells a compelling story: a sharp morning spike towards $109 on Iran headlines, a swift retreat around 09:00 as peace rumours briefly took hold, followed by a steady and sustained recovery throughout the afternoon and evening — textbook headline-trading in a market uncertain whether to trust diplomacy. WTI briefly touched the psychologically significant $100 level during the session and closed the week at $99.64. President Trump announced on Thursday evening a 10-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure through to 6th April, stating that talks were proceeding very well. Tehran has yet to respond. The supply picture is now structurally fragile. According to Rystad Energy, the global system has shifted from buffered to brittle following weeks of sustained disruption: nearly 17.8 million barrels per day of oil and fuel flows through the Strait of Hormuz have been affected, with approximately 500 million barrels lost in total since the conflict escalated. Iraq declared force majeure on all foreign-operated oilfields on 20th March, with Basra output cut from 3.3 million barrels per day to roughly 900,000 — Iraq being OPEC’s second-largest producer. OPEC+ responded with a token increase of just 206,000 barrels per day for April, a figure wholly insufficient to offset Hormuz-related losses. For BGF World Energy A2 — broadly exposed to international energy majors including Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil — this environment represents a highly favourable combination of elevated pricing power and constrained supply. Each of these companies carries direct earnings exposure to sustained high oil prices. TotalEnergies is trading near all-time highs in the range of €78–79, and Equinor (EQNR) delivered quarterly earnings well ahead of analyst estimates in its most recent reporting period. The energy sector stands as one of the strongest-performing globally in 2026. The principal risk remains a sudden and credible diplomatic breakthrough. Yet Tehran’s messaging this week has been unambiguous: Iran is not prepared to negotiate on American terms. The war premium is not a temporary feature of this market — it is structural, and priced in for the foreseeable future. The 6th April deadline on Trump’s pause will be the next key catalyst to watch. Are you currently positioned in the energy sector, and what is your strategy should Brent approach $120 per barrel? This is not financial advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.

- 31.3.31.3.USA withdraws – but Hormuz remains closed: The most bullish scenario for energy markets Whilst the media focuses on the end of the war as the catalyst for oil prices, it is paradoxically the opposite that may prove most bullish for energy equities in the medium term: the United States concluding active operations without Hormuz reopening. Why this scenario is different In an active war scenario, markets always carry an embedded ceasefire premium. Every diplomatic headline – even unconfirmed negotiation signals – sends oil lower. We saw this on 25th March when Brent fell 2.2% on a single Trump statement about possible talks, despite Iran immediately rejecting this. Markets trade on perceived probability of resolution, not actual resolution. Should the United States withdraw without Hormuz reopening, this daily ceasefire risk disappears. There is no longer a negotiating party with sufficient leverage to compel Iran. Markets must then begin pricing in structural supply scarcity – and that is a fundamentally different and more durable oil price than a geopolitical risk premium. The physical realities are already severe Brent has surged approximately 55% in March 2026 – a record for the contract since its inception in 1988, according to CNBC. What makes this scenario particularly potent, however, is that disruptions now extend well beyond crude oil. Shell Chief Executive Wael Sawan warned at CERAWeek in Houston that disruptions which began in South Asia have now “moved to Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and then more so into Europe.” LNG, refined products and fertilisers are affected simultaneously – this is no longer merely an oil shock, but a broad commodity shock with inflationary reach. Alternative pipeline routes can only handle a fraction of normal volumes, whilst rerouting tankers around the Cape of Good Hope adds 10–14 days to each delivery, effectively withdrawing capacity from the market. Iran’s logic supports the scenario Without military pressure, Iran has no immediate reason to reopen Hormuz. The strait is their most powerful strategic instrument – but the card’s value presupposes a counterparty to pressure. Without an active military adversary, there is equally no one with whom to negotiate. The result may be a closed strait indefinitely, without war and without peace. What this means for BGF World Energy A2 The fund’s core holdings – Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil – are all integrated energy companies with significant upstream exposure. With sustained $100+ oil and without daily ceasefire noise, earnings visibility for these companies improves markedly. ExxonMobil’s Chief Economist Tyler Goodspeed stated on CNBC that there are “many more probable scenarios in which the strait remains effectively closed harder for longer” than ones in which normal traffic resumes – and Goodspeed was speaking from within one of the fund’s core holdings. The real risk is not peace – it is that $110 oil over time breaks global growth and dampens industrial demand. However, in a scenario where the United States withdraws and Hormuz remains closed, this demand destruction will take time to materialise, whilst the supply scarcity is immediate. What are you watching going forward? Would a US withdrawal without Hormuz reopening change your energy exposure – or is this precisely the scenario you are positioning for?

- 30.3.30.3.$150 Per Barrel: Société Générale Raises the Stakes — BGF World Energy A2 in Focus Société Générale now sees increasing probability of Brent crude reaching $150 per barrel, with the bank projecting an average of $125/bbl for April alone, according to Bloomberg. This morning, Brent for front-month delivery is trading at $115.2/bbl — a level that would have seemed extraordinary just three months ago. The backdrop is well known, but the numbers are sharpening. Standard Chartered estimates the Iran conflict has removed 7.4–8.2 million barrels per day from global supply — with Iraq down 2.9 mb/d, Saudi Arabia 2.0–2.5 mb/d, and meaningful losses from the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar. Critically, all exports that can bypass the Strait of Hormuz have already been rerouted. There is no remaining buffer. Barclays has flagged $150 as a plausible near-term ceiling, and Wood Mackenzie has gone further still, noting that $200/bbl is not outside the realms of possibility in 2026. The EIA’s base case — Brent averaging $91/bbl in Q2 2026, easing as Hormuz flows normalise — represents the soft-landing scenario. But with Iran showing no sign of backing down and Gulf infrastructure continuing to absorb damage, the probability-weighted upside is moving in one direction. For BGF World Energy A2, the implications are direct. Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil — the fund’s core holdings — are generating extraordinary free cash flow at current prices. Every $10 increase in the oil price flows straight to the bottom line of integrated majors. At $125–150/bbl, we are looking at earnings levels not seen since the post-COVID supercycle, compounded by a supply shock far more structural than anything witnessed in 2021–2022. The risk to this thesis is diplomatic resolution. Oil dipped last week on reports of a US diplomatic push toward Iran. Any credible ceasefire or Hormuz reopening agreement would likely send prices sharply lower. That is the key variable to monitor. What do you believe is the most likely oil price range by end of Q2 2026 — below $90, $90–120, or above $120?

- 28.3.28.3.NEW FRONT IN THE IRAN WAR: THE HOUTHIS OPEN FIRE ON ISRAEL One month into the Iran war, the conflict has taken a new and dangerous turn. On Saturday morning, the Houthi militia in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Israel for the first time — and has made clear this is only the beginning. “Our operations will continue until aggression against all resistance fronts ceases,” the group announced via Telegram. The missile was intercepted by Israeli air defences, but the message is unambiguous: Iran’s so-called “axis of resistance” has now been activated across a broad front. Meanwhile, Israeli media report that the IDF carried out extensive strikes against Iranian targets across Tehran overnight, with around ten powerful explosions reported by AFP journalists on the ground. Iran responded with missile attacks on Tel Aviv — one person has been confirmed dead. What makes today’s developments particularly significant for energy markets is the Houthis’ explicit threat to reinstate their naval blockade of the Red Sea and target shipping in solidarity with Iran. The group controls the Bab el-Mandeb strait — the southern gateway to the Suez Canal. A renewed blockade would not only disrupt global shipping; Saudi Arabia relies on pipelines running down to the Red Sea to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, meaning the Houthi threat simultaneously endangers both critical energy corridors. Combined with Iranian strikes on Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain — further pressuring Gulf states — the risk premium on oil remains firmly elevated. BGF World Energy, with substantial holdings in Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron and ExxonMobil, is directly exposed to precisely this scenario: prolonged geopolitical instability keeping energy prices high. The war is escalating. The position holds. Do you hold exposure to the energy sector — and how do you assess the Houthi variable in your analysis? This does not constitute financial advice.

- 28.3.28.3.HOUTHIS READY FOR WAR – IS BAB AL-MANDAB THE NEXT SHIPPING SHOCK? While the Strait of Hormuz is already effectively closed by Iran, Reuters reported on 26 March that Yemen’s Houthi militia has now declared full military readiness. A Houthi leader told Reuters: “We stand fully militarily ready with all options. As for determining zero hour, that is left to the leadership and we will know when the suitable time is to move.” Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi emphasised on Thursday that Yemen cannot remain neutral, and that the movement will use every means at its disposal to confront what he describes as US and Israeli aggression against Iran. Bab al-Mandab – “The Gate of Tears” The next shipping shock may come from the south. Bab al-Mandab is just 29 kilometres wide at its narrowest point and ranks among the world’s most critical trade arteries – oil and LNG from the Gulf bound for the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal passes through here.
