Performance commentary
- The Fund delivered a positive performance, in line with its performance indicator.- The portfolio mainly benefited from its exposure to credit, boosted by the fall in interest rates over the period and, to a lesser extent, by the narrowing of yield spreads. Our financial bonds were the main contributor, while our protective measures aimed at reducing our exposure to the riskiest part of the market had a slight impact on performance.- On the sovereign debt side, we benefited from our long positions on the short end of German debt, as interest-rate markets eased and yield curves steepened.- Finally, the portfolio continues to benefit from the good performance of our selection of Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) and our exposure to money market instruments.
Outlook strategy
- The resilience of the various economies, characterized by a soft landing in Europe thanks to improving real incomes, with inflation gradually returning towards target, should enable the ECB to gradually continue its rate-cutting cycle.- However, given the presence of both political and geopolitical risks, the portfolio maintains a balanced positioning, with a duration of 2.2 at the end of the period.- On the one hand, a significant allocation to credit, mainly invested in short-term, highly-rated corporate bonds and CLOs, offering an attractive source of carry.- And secondly, a long position on the short end of the German curve, which should benefit from a flight to quality in an unfavorable scenario, but also from ECB rate cuts. This position was slightly reduced at the end of the period, as the market now fully anticipates two further rate cuts for the rest of the year.- We are also retaining protection on the credit market (iTraxx Xover), as markets are trading at tight levels in a geopolitical context that remains uncertain.- Finally, an allocation in money market instruments, which represent an attractive source of carry with limited risk.
