Performance commentary
- During the month, the Fund posted a positive absolute performance, outperforming its benchmark.
- The fund benefited from the performance of its credit selection particularly hard currency emerging debt (Ukraine, Côte d’Ivoire) and some private issuance in energy sector. However, we slightly suffered from our positions on Argentine debt and our credit protections.
- Our local rates strategies contributed positively to performance, supported by long positions in Brazilian, Hungarian and Indonesian rates. Conversely, the Fund was penalized by our positions on Colombian rates.
- On the currency front, the Fund benefited from the appreciation of the Brazilian real and the Hungarian forint against the euro, which helped offset the negative impact of the weakness of the Indonesian rupiah over the month.
Outlook strategy
- In a context marked by geopolitical and fiscal uncertainty in several countries, we still anticipate that the major central banks, including EM central banks will maintain an accommodative monetary policy. We therefore remain a relatively high modified duration, with a preference for local rates.
- Regarding local rates, we favour countries with high real rates such as Colombia, South Africa and Brazil, as well as Eastern European countries such as Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. On the other hand, we are taking short positions on develop market rates notably US rates.
- In hard currency emerging debt, we have a preference for HY issuers, maintaining a diversified exposure across countries such as Côte d’Ivoire, Colombia, Turkey and South Africa, which offer attractive yields and favorable factors, leading us to believe they are mispriced by the market.
- Although the credit segment offers attractive carry, particularly in energy and financials, we maintain hedging through iTraxx Crossover given tight credit spread valuations.
- Finally, in currencies, we remain cautious, with high allocation in the euro, complemented by some decent exposure to Central and Eastern European currencies. We also hold selected positions in emerging market currencies, notably the commodity exporters from Latin America (Chilean peso, Brazilian real) and Asia (Indonesian rupiah), while keeping a minimal exposure the US dollar.

Market environment
-Despite sticky inflation, Powell’s dovish tone at Jackson Hole emphasized rising labor market risks and reinforced expectations of a September rate cut. However, President Trump’s attempt to remove Governor Lisa Cook, raised concerns about Fed independence and contributing to steeper yield curves.
-In August, yield curves steepened on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, the move was pronounced, with the 2Y falling by -34 bps versus -14 bps for the 10Y, as markets priced in rate cuts. In Germany, the shift was modest, with the 2Y down -2 bps and the 10Y up +3 bps.
