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 indicator 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

  • The fund delivered positive performance in September, slightly underperforming reference index in this yield curve flattening configuration.
  • Credit was the main contributor to fund’s performance thanks to our allocation to high-yield credit and subordinated financial debt which benefited from tighter credit spreads.
  • On the other hand, our credit overlay suffered from this bullish trend on spreads despite marked tension on the geopolitics side.
  • During the month, we increased our short position on the front end of US yield curve amid strong pessimism of investors regarding growth trajectory.

Outlook strategy

  • The current environment presents numerous uncertainties stemming from the Trump administration's decisions, which could lead to greater volatility in risky assets.
  • The market appears pessimistic about the economic trajectories in the United States, thereby incorporating optimistic expectations of rate cuts. On the other hand the market is much more optimistic on the eurozone growth potential with no cuts priced on the ECB side for the twelve months to come.
  • Disinflationary momentum appears less vigorous on both sides of the Atlantic, while the market continues to price in a sustained return of inflation below central bank targets.
  • Based on these observations, we are maintaining a low level of modified duration while keeping a strong appetite for inflation-linked products.
