Market environment

  • Market sentiment improved significantly in June after the United States and Iran reached an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, easing geopolitical tensions. The resulting decline in oil prices, with Brent crude falling to around USD 73 per barrel, eased stagflation concerns and supported global risk assets.
  • The Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% at its first meeting under Chairman Kevin Warsh. However, the updated dot plot and the Chair's less dovish-than-expected communication led markets to price further tightening by year-end.
  • US economic data continued to signal a resilient economy. Non-farm payrolls again surprised to the upside, PMI surveys remained robust and first-quarter GDP was revised up to 2.1%. Meanwhile, inflation remained persistent despite softer-than-expected May data, with PCE inflation at 4.1% year-on-year and core PCE at 3.4%.
  • In Europe, the ECB raised its deposit rate by 25bps to 2.25%, reiterating that inflationary pressures were becoming more broad-based despite easing energy prices. It also revised inflation forecasts upward and growth projections downward.
  • Rate dynamics diverged across the Atlantic. In the US, the Treasury curve bear flattened, with the 2-year yield up 19bps versus 3bps for the 10-year. In contrast, the euro area experienced a bull flattening, with the German 2-year yield unchanged and the 10-year down 8bps. Credit markets remained resilient, with positive returns in European Investment Grade and High Yield despite modest cash spread widening, while the iTraxx Xover tightened by 14bps, outperforming cash markets.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund posted a positive absolute performance in June slightly underperforming its reference indicator in a bullish environment for credit.
  • The main negative contributor was our credit overlay strategies in June however we keep this position as we think valuation could widened in such environment going forward.
  • On the other hand, we continue to benfit from the strong activity of primary market to increase our exposure to defensive subordinated financial new issues and corporate hybrid instruments.
  • Finally, we maintain an exposure of approximately 5% of the fund's net assets to structured credit (CLOs), which have been performing steadily so far this year thanks to their floating rate features.

Outlook strategy

  • We continue to focus on our core investment themes through a selection of high-yield bonds, including in the energy sector, financial debt and structured credit.
  • Given the current volatility on the credit markets, we are maintaining a high level of credit index coverage, which now accounts for approximately 17% of the Fund's net assets.
  • After years of weakness due to abundant liquidity and low capital costs, default rates are expected to return to levels close to historical averages, which we believe should create idiosyncratic opportunities.
  • Finally, the portfolio's high carry (around 5.5%) and apparent dispersion within the credit spectrum should mitigate short-term volatility and help generate medium to long-term mid single digit performance.
