Oil and troubled waters? Q1 2026 Q1 2026 market update. By Chair of Investment Committee at Enhance, Alex Scott.

It was a really memorable evening at the Jersey premiere of Bergerac Season Two at the Opera House.

Stephen Wilson from our team was there - and not just in the audience, having featured as an extra in both seasons, which made it all the more special.

We also had the pleasure of hosting a number of our clients for the occasion. A really fun night celebrating the return of Bergerac in Jersey.

Peer Groups Commentary - Q4 2025
“A quarter of broadening out and consolidation"

After several years of narrow market leadership, 2025 ended with a clear shift. Performance broadened across regions and sectors, with non-US markets and more traditional industries playing a larger role in equity returns.

For trustees, family offices and advisers, this changing backdrop raises important questions around diversification, concentration risk and the role of passive benchmarks in portfolios.

In the Q4 2025 commentary we explore:
- What the broadening of market leadership means for diversified portfolios
- How peer group portfolios performed relative to passive benchmarks
- Allocation trends across cautious, balanced and growth strategies
- The implications for portfolio construction going forward

Enhance analyses thousands of real portfolios, helping fiduciary investors understand how the industry is actually delivering outcomes.

We’re proud to support Guernsey Rowing Club, who hosted their annual Rowathon last Sunday (1st March) - and what a success it was!

The event raised an amazing £12,000+ for MS Society Guernsey - a fantastic achievement for a brilliant cause.

Not only that, but the team powered their way to a very respectable 5th place finish in the mixed category 👏

We're also pleased to see the team showcasing their new look on the day!

Enhance Group is proud to once again support the Greening Jersey initiative.

Greening Jersey was created to help drive environmental recovery and rewilding across the Island, in partnership with local charities including the National Trust Jersey and Jersey Trees for Life. Together, Jersey’s financial services community is helping to restore and transform natural spaces - from woodlands and wildflower meadows to vital wetland habitats - supporting the Island’s biodiversity and long-term environmental resilience.

We encourage fellow Jersey Finance Members to join us by signing up to take part - more details can be found below.

We look forward to connecting and collaborating with participants at volunteering activities throughout 2026, building on the positive impact achieved in 2025.

Digital transformation only works when data, systems, and people can truly connect.

At the QBIX Digital Transformation Conference yesterday, our CEO Tom Wiseman shared why data strategy must sit at the centre of transformation - and demonstrated how Mosaic’s API-based interoperability is helping organisations break down silos and create smarter, more connected ecosystems.

It was fantastic to be both sponsor and contributor to such an energising event, and great to have COO, Justin Simpson join the live Mosaic platform demo on stage.

Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation - and to the organisers for bringing together such a forward-thinking community.
