Market environment

  • Despite of the fragile ceasefire in the middle east, the pressure on commodities remained high in April amid prospects of prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and potential US military action against Iran leading to a stabilization of the Brent above $100/bbl.
  • Sticky commodity prices have led to stabilization in the rate market, with investors still anticipating three rate hikes by the European Central Bank by the end of the year and no longer expecting any easing from the Federal Reserve.
  • In the US, the Fed held rates steady at 3.50–3.75% In April, the FOMC adopting a more hawkish tone in what appears to be the most divided meetings on record. J. Powell confirmed he will remain on the Board as long as necessary. Growth accelerated with flash Q1-GDP at 2.0%, partly supported by public spending, while inflation picked-up with the PCE index pointing at 3.5%.
  • In the Eurozone, the ECB kept rates unchanged at 2%, and hinting at potential hikes as from the June meeting. Flash Q1-GDP slowed to 0.1% and April flash inflation rose to 3.0% YoY, pointing to a stagflationary backdrop.
  • During the month, yield curves were in a slightly bearish configuration. In the eurozone, the German 2-year yield rose by +3 bps over the month compared to +4 bps for the 10-year yield. A similar pattern was observed in the United States, with the 2-year yield increasing by +5 bps and the 10-year yield by +2 bps. Paradoxically, risk appetite was much more pronounced on the credit front, where credit spreads in the high-yield spectrum tightened by -60bps on the iTraxx Xover index during the month of April.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund posted a positive absolute performance in April in line with its reference indicator in a bullish environment for credit despite volatility.
  • We kept a high level of protection in the portfolio while we think valuation could widened in such environment going forward.
  • On the other hand, we benefited from the reopening 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 in April 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 18% 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 5.7%) and apparent dispersion within the credit spectrum should mitigate short-term volatility and help generate medium to long-term mid single digit performance.
