Performance commentary
In a context of deteriorated bond markets, the fund delivered a negative performance, underperforming its reference indicator.
On the interest rate side, our long positions on European rates had an overall negative impact, but our strategies of steepening the curves and our short positions on French debt helped to cushion the interest rate shock.
In credit, while the carry on our positions and our hedges to reduce our exposure to the riskiest part of the market contributed positively, the widening of credit spreads over the period had a negative impact.
Finally, the portfolio continues to benefit from our exposure to money market instruments, while our selection of collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) had a neutral impact this month.
Outlook strategy
Given the risks associated with tariffs, the budgets allocated to European defence and geopolitical issues in a context of increasingly tense valuations in certain markets, the portfolio maintains a balanced positioning with a modified duration that has decreased over the month, from 2.2 to 1.7. The modified duration is mainly concentrated on the short units of the curves.
On the one hand, the portfolio benefits from a significant allocation to credit, mainly invested in short-term, highly-rated corporate bonds and CLOs, which offer an attractive source of carry and a reduced beta relative to market volatility.
On the other hand, we are adopting a cautious position on interest rates, particularly in Europe, where we favour a strategy of steepening yield curves, as well as a marked appetite for inflation products, in a context of fiscal expansion in Europe.
We are also maintaining protection on the credit market (iTraxx Xover), with markets trading at tight levels in an uncertain economic and geopolitical context.
Finally, we have allocated part of the portfolio to money market instruments, which are an attractive source of carry with limited risk.

Market environment
-The main announcement of the month came from the German parliament, which adopted a reform of its debt brake policy in order to increase its military spending while approving the creation of a 500 billion euro infrastructure fund. -In the United States, the indicators have been mixed, with disappointment over the leading indicators, which reflect less dynamic growth prospects and more vigorous inflation.- On the other hand, US economic statistics remain robust, with strong household and business consumption ahead of the implementation of tariffs. -Core inflation fell slightly on both sides of the Atlantic at the end of February, now standing at +2.6% in the euro zone and +3.1% across the Atlantic. -The change in German fiscal policy doctrine resulted in a massive rate shock, as illustrated by the +33bp rise in the German 10-year rate, unlike its US counterpart, which remained stable in view of the uncertainties weighing on growth.
