Market environment

  • The US Federal Reserve proceeded with a third 25bp rate cut at its December meeting, but with a much less dovish tone, as policymakers appear increasingly divided on the roadmap for 2026 amid persistent inflation and solid economic momentum.
  • U.S. economic data remained mixed but broadly supportive. Inflation surprised on the dovish side, with November CPI easing to 2.7% YoY, though underlying details pointed to data distortions rather than a clear disinflation trend. The labor market stayed resilient, with low jobless claims and solid private sector employment, despite a gradual rise in the unemployment rate to 4.5%. Growth remained strong, with Q3 GDP revised up to 4.3% annualized, driven by consumer spending.
  • In the euro area, the ECB kept its policy rates unchanged while revising upwards its projections for growth and inflation, with headline and core inflation now expected to reach 2.0% in 2028. Inflation surprised slightly to the upside, with headline inflation at 2.2% YoY and core inflation remaining sticky. Activity indicators improved over the period, with retail sales, German industrial production, and PMI surveys surprising to the upside.
  • Globally, Japan remained a key driver of market dynamics. The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years, triggering a sharp rise in Japanese yields and adding pressure on global rates.
  • In this context, both the US and German yield curves steepened in December, as sovereign bond yields moved higher, with the German 10-year yield rising by 17 basis points and its U.S. counterpart by 15 basis points. Credit markets performed well despite spreads already at very tight levels, with the iTraxx Xover tightening by 11 bps over the month.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance in line with its reference indicator.
  • Rate strategies delivered a slightly positive contribution over the month. Our short positions on US rates, together with selected emerging market exposures in Eastern Europe, contributed positively, partly offset by our US inflation strategies.
  • Credit exposure was the main contributor to performance during the month. The portfolio benefited from our carry strategies, particularly our exposure to the financial sector, in an environment marked by tightening credit spreads.
  • Finally, the portfolio continued to benefit from our selection of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and money market instruments.

Outlook strategy

  • In a still uncertain environment, characterized by a more cautious ECB following upward revisions to its projections and by a Federal Reserve that is more divided than ever regarding the future direction of monetary policy, we maintain a moderate duration stance. Duration increased from 2.3 to 2.6 over the month, driven by a reduction in our put options on German rates after the sharp rise in European yields.
  • 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 return and a reduced beta relative to market volatility.
  • Balanced by a cautious stance on rates, with a long position focused on the front end of the euro yield curve, where markets no longer expect further rate cuts despite persistent downside risks to growth, partially hedged through put options on German rates. We also hold a short position on French sovereign debt amid ongoing political and fiscal uncertainty, as well as a short position on the 7–10-year segment of the US curve, where we believe rate-cut expectations remain overly optimistic given inflation dynamics and resilient economic data.
  • We maintain our credit market protection (iTraxx Xover) as spreads tightened towards their lowest levels since early 2022.
  • Finally, we keep part of the portfolio in money market instruments, which help control the overall volatility of the portfolio while providing a cash reserve to be redeployed in case of a market event.
