Market environment

  • May brought the first signs of normalisation for the US economy and labour market, as well as a drop in retail sales.

  • Although inflation was slightly lower, Federal Reserve members remained cautious over the month.

  • In the Eurozone, on the other hand, signs of recovery kept coming with the publication of better GDP figures for the first quarter.

  • A split appeared on the fixed income market, with US yields falling and the US dollar weakening, but euro yields rising.

  • Emerging markets ended the month slightly lower in local currency, but higher in hard currency.

  • May was also notable for elections in a number of countries (India, South Africa and Mexico), which seem to have increased regional volatility.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund ended the month with a stable performance, slightly ahead of its reference indicator.

  • The main catalysts were external debt, especially Pemex, Ivory Coast and Ukraine.

  • The impact of our currency component was neutral. Whereas the US dollar and Brazilian real had a negative effect, our strategy of buying the Chilean peso and selling the Chinese yuan worked in our favour.

  • At a local bond level, our long positioning on Chinese and Mexican debt has a positive influence.

Outlook strategy

  • We raised the Fund’s modified duration, which exceeded 400 basis points at month-end.

  • For local debt, we still prefer countries like Mexico and Brazil where real short-term interest rates remain extremely high.

  • However, we took profits on our long Chinese positions.

  • At a currency level, the Fund remains long on the Brazilian real and Chilean peso. However, we further reduced our long stance on the US dollar.

  • The Fund continues to be long on emerging market debt denominated in hard currencies, especially within the EMEA region and Latin America.
