Market environment

  • Middle East tensions remained elevated in August. Renewed hopes of US-Iran talks briefly pushed oil prices lower at the start of the month, but no agreement materialised and tensions resurfaced towards month-end. Brent ultimately ended near USD 90/bbl, while European natural gas prices rose by around 18%.
  • US activity remained resilient, with business surveys firmly in expansionary territory. However, the labour market showed signs of weakening, while inflation remained elevated, complicating the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook.
  • US fiscal and monetary policy remained in focus. High financing needs and rising borrowing costs continued to weigh on the long end of the Treasury curve. The Treasury’s decision to significantly expand long-dated bond buybacks helped yields retrace from their intra-month highs. At Jackson Hole, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh struck a hawkish tone, pushing the probability of a September rate hike to around 65%.
  • Euro area momentum improved, with business surveys pointing to a continued expansion in activity. At the same time, persistent inflationary pressures, reinforced by the sharp rise in European gas prices, maintained upward pressure on rate expectations.
  • Against this backdrop, sovereign yields moved higher overall, with a flattening of the US curve. The US 2-year yield rose by 5bps and the 10-year by 2bps, while German 2-year and 10-year yields both increased by 12bps. European credit remained resilient, with investment-grade spreads broadly unchanged and the iTraxx Xover tightening by 13bps.
  • In FX, the US dollar weakened against the euro, as concerns around the US fiscal outlook and financial repression outweighed support from a more hawkish Fed repricing. The Japanese yen also weakened, while the Australian dollar and South African rand benefited from resilient global growth and a generally supportive risk environment.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the Fund delivered a negative performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • In this context, the Fund’s performance was primarily affected by interest-rate and currency strategies, while credit made a modest positive contribution.
  • On rates, performance was negative overall. Long positions in European and US rates detracted as sovereign yields moved higher and the US yield curve flattened. These losses were partially offset by our short positions in French and Italian government bonds, which contributed positively.
  • Credit strategies made a modest positive contribution overall. Gains from our diversified exposure to hard-currency emerging-market debt and developed-market credit were largely offset by losses on CDS hedges, as credit markets remained resilient and spreads tightened, particularly in high yield.
  • Currency strategies detracted from performance overall. Positive contributions from the South African rand and Australian dollar were more than offset by losses on the Japanese yen, Brazilian real and Chilean peso, while the US dollar also detracted slightly.

Outlook strategy

  • Against a backdrop of persistent inflation, heavy sovereign financing needs, rising AI-related investment and tight credit spreads, the portfolio maintains a selective and cautious stance. Modified duration stood at 4.9 at the end of August. The portfolio continued to combine a short bias on long-end US rates, long inflation positions, limited US dollar exposure and selective exposure to emerging-market currencies and credit.
  • Interest rates & inflation: We remain short long-end US Treasuries, as resilient activity, persistent inflation, large fiscal deficits and significant financing needs continue to put upward pressure on long-term yields. We also maintain long breakeven inflation positions. In Europe, we remain long German rates while retaining a short position in France, alongside a cautious stance on UK rates. Emerging-market local rates remain selective, with an increasing preference for currencies over broad duration exposure.
  • Spread products: We maintain selective exposure to hard-currency emerging-market debt, notably in Egypt, Romania, Hungary and Argentina, alongside selected corporate credit. With valuations remaining tight, substantial iTraxx Xover protection is maintained to hedge against a potential widening in credit spreads.
  • Currencies: We maintain limited exposure to the US dollar and a long bias towards the euro. We continue to favor high-carry emerging-market currencies, notably the Brazilian real, Mexican peso and South African rand, as well as selected commodity-linked currencies. We also retain a long position in the Japanese yen, supported by expectations of further Bank of Japan monetary normalization amid persistent inflationary pressures.
