Pareto Pure Alpha Portfolios — April 2026
Pareto Investor’s April 2026 update shows its four Pure Alpha portfolios delivering mixed YTD results amid heightened macro volatility. The Momentum portfolio leads with a 23% gain YTD and a 105% return over the past 12 months, while Growth and Permanent posted modest declines of 2% and 3% respectively. All four strategies outperformed the S&P 500, which is down about 5% YTD, buoyed by a 33% YTD surge in the energy sector. The firm attributes performance to a commodity‑rotation cycle now in an energy‑dominant phase and notes only minor portfolio rebalancing since March.
