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 2yr yield being steady while the 10yr declined by -8bps. In Germany, the curve bear-flattened with the 2yr rising by +8bps while the 10yr remained unchanged. On credit side, risk appetite remained strong, leading to a tightening of spreads of -6bp of the iTraxx Xover index in September.
  • On the currency front, the euro resumed its upward trend against the US dollar amid monetary policy divergence, with the Fed resuming its rate-cutting cycle and weak data, including another poor payroll report.

Performance commentary

  • During the month, the fund posted a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • On the interest rate side, our bias towards a steepening of the US and UK yield curves was penalised by the flattening of the curve during the month. Conversely, we benefited from long positions in Canadian debt against a backdrop of deteriorating economic data. Finally, in emerging market debt, we mainly benefited from our long positions in South African debt.
  • Our exposure to spread products was the main contributor to performance during the month, along with our selection of emerging market debt denominated in hard currencies and, to a lesser extent, our credit exposure.
  • Finally, on the currency front, the performance was broadly neutral, with the negative contribution from the US dollar offset by the good performance of our emerging market currencies, such as the Hungarian forint and the Brazilian real.

Outlook strategy

  • Against a backdrop of slowing growth, but without entering into recession, marked by a labour market showing signs of weakness, tariffs and fiscal largesse we anticipate that the major central banks in developed and emerging countries will maintain an accommodative stance. In this context, we are therefore maintaining a relatively high level of modified duration, around 5.
  • With regard to interest rates, we have a generally cautious stance on US rates, with the market optimistically anticipating four rate cuts in an economy that is showing some resilience while the independence of the Fed is being called into question. In Europe, we are long Germany, with the market no longer anticipating further rate cuts, and short on France due to political and fiscal risks. We are also positioned for lower UK rates, given the deterioration in economic data and short Japanese rates, where the inflation outlook has been revised upwards. Finally, we remain selective on emerging market local rates, which are benefiting from high real rates, as in Brazil, but also in some Eastern European countries.
  • On credit, we are maintaining significant exposure, benefiting from an attractive carry. However, given the relatively tight valuations, we remain cautious and are maintaining a high level of hedging on the iTraxx Xover to protect the portfolio from the risk of widening spreads
  • Finally, in terms of currencies, we are maintaining a limited exposure to the US dollar. Our currency selection includes Latin American currencies (the Brazilian real and Chilean peso) and commodity-linked currencies (the Australian dollar and Norwegian krone). Finally, we are maintaining a long position on the Japanese yen, as the Bank of Japan is likely to be the only central bank to raise rates this year.
