Market environment

  • Economic data in the United States gradually strengthened during September, with initially mixed signals on employment, particularly due to the severe storms in Texas, followed by jobless claims returning to their July levels at the end of the month.
  • Despite stronger than expected inflation and resilient growth in retail sales, FED decided to deliver a first rate cut of -25bps this year. That said, the Committee clearly remains divided on the path ahead with a wide dispersion of the individual dots.
  • In the eurozone, statistics were also positive with leading indicators emerging above expectation at end of the month notably on the services component which was lagging so far. Inflation accelerated to +2.1% YoY as of end of August while core inflation exceeded expectation at +2.3% and second quarter GDP was revised upward to +1.5%.
  • ECB's September meeting has resulted in a status quo on monetary policy, Christine Lagarde's speech was perceived as moderately hawkish due to the absence of any commitment to future rate cuts.
  • Sovereign yields ended the month with contrasting dynamics across the Atlantic. In the US, the curve flattened as the 2Y yield being steady while the 10Y declined by -8bps. In Germany, the curve bear-flattened with the 2Y rising by +8bps while the 10Y remained unchanged. On credit side, risk appetite remained strong, leading to a tightening of spreads of -6bp of the iTraxx Xover index in September.

Performance commentary

  • In this market environment, the Fund posted a positive performance, slightly behind its reference indicator over the month.
  • Regarding rates, our strategy focusing on the short end of the European curve with a bias towards curve steepening was penalised by the bear flattening of the curve during the month.
  • The portfolio benefited mainly from its exposure to credit, benefiting from carry but also from the tightening of spreads, particularly in the financial and energy sectors.
  • Finally, the portfolio continues to benefit from our exposure to money market instruments and our selection of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs).

Outlook strategy

  • The current barbell strategy, balancing credit exposure with active management of the duration and money market instruments, should enable the Fund to benefit from its carry in a gradual monetary normalisation environment, but also to cope with temporary market turbulence.
  • On the one hand, we maintain a significant allocation to credit, mainly invested in short-term, highly rated corporate bonds, offering an attractive source of carry and a reduced beta relative to market volatility.
  • We are maintaining a long position on the short end of the European curve, where the market no longer anticipates any further rate cuts despite the persistent downside risks to growth. Conversely, we have a short position on French rates amid political instability, but also in the United States, where we believe the market's expectations for rate cuts are overly optimistic given the resilience of the economy.
  • We have closed our European inflation breakeven positions, as recent indicators, including energy prices and wage dynamics, point to a moderation in inflation risks.
  • We are also maintaining credit market protection (iTraxx Xover), as markets are trading at tight levels amid economic and political uncertainty.
  • Finally, we maintain exposure to money market instruments. These provide an attractive source of carry with limited risk, while also acting as a cash reserve that can be redeployed in the event of a market event.
