OAK BROOK, IL — May 18, 2026
Kuhn Capital Partners today announced the release of its Q1 2026 Client Letter, providing clients with an update on markets, portfolio strategy, and firm-wide developments.
The letter reviews a difficult and unusual first quarter, as equity markets declined while oil prices surged following heightened geopolitical tensions and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The S&P 500 declined approximately 4.6% during the quarter, while Brent crude rose sharply from roughly $61 per barrel at the start of January to $118 by quarter-end.
The letter also outlines Kuhn Capital Partners’ “All-Weather” portfolio approach, which is built around each client’s specific goals, risk tolerance, income needs, and broader financial picture. Rather than relying on any single asset class or market outlook, KCP uses multiple strategy building blocks across public equities, structured notes, energy investments, and opportunistic allocations.
“We believe client communication is especially important during periods of volatility,” said Robert Kuhn, Chief Executive Officer of Kuhn Capital Partners. “Markets are always focused on a new headline, but our job is not to predict every short-term move. Our job is to build resilient portfolios, manage risk, and help clients stay disciplined through different market environments.”
The Q1 letter includes updates on several core strategies used across client portfolios, including Zacks Managed Accounts, Custom Income Notes, Bison II, LP, and Bison Alpha Fund, LP. It also discusses KCP’s view on long-term investing, the importance of true diversification, and the firm’s continued focus on helping clients make thoughtful financial decisions.
Clients who did not receive the Q1 2026 Client Letter are encouraged to contact the Kuhn Capital Partners team directly, and the firm will send them a copy.
