Performance commentary
As core yields eased a little and credit markets moved upwards, our emphasis on buy-and-hold strategies, especially for credit, helped the Fund deliver a positive return and fare much better than its reference indicator. Our allocation to corporate and financial bonds, and to a lesser extent peripheral sovereign debt, raised monthly performance. The portfolio’s selection of collateralised loan obligations and exposure to money market instruments continues to have a positive impact.Outlook strategy
In this scenario of a soft landing for the European economy, mainly thanks to an improvement in real income and to inflation gradually moving back towards the central bank’s target, paving the way for an initial rate cut in June, the portfolio’s modified duration remains moderate at around 2, mainly involving inflation and curve steepening strategies, and a significant credit allocation. We still view credit, which accounts for nearly two thirds of our portfolio, as an attractive performance driver from a buy-and-hold perspective, and are keeping some tactical hedging given the valuation levels now reached. Our exposure is concentrated on short-dated investment grade issues, with financials, energy and CLOs our three strongest convictions. We gradually built up our curve steepening strategy over the month (long 5-year vs short 30-year in Germany) as the ECB is getting closer to a first rate cut, which should re-steepen yield curves that are looking flat from a historical perspective. We are keeping exposure to real yields and breakeven inflation rates, as this could benefit from any disruption to the disinflation trend at a time of political and geopolitical uncertainty. The portfolio’s average yield was around 4.7% at month-end, at the top of its 10-year range, and this should drive performance over the year ahead.Performance Overview

Market environment
Central bank meetings held no big surprises in March, although the Bank of Japan did bring an end to its negative interest rate policy by raising its key rate from -0.1% to a range of 0%–0.1%. However, the prospect of coordinated easing by the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve seems to be receding as US growth and inflation figures remain higher than expected. Despite a dovish tone, the Federal Reserve has been forced to revise its growth forecasts upwards for the cycle ahead. The consumer price index beat traders’ forecasts once again at +3.2% y/y, after another disappointing publication the previous month, while core inflation remains well above target at 3.8%. Other indicators were just as robust, and include retail sales and industrial production, which rebounded in February. Job growth of 275,000 over the month was also surprisingly high. The trend in Europe is more subtle as countries show a little more fiscal orthodoxy to meet EU deficit requirements. However, the publication of leading indicators (PMIs) was encouraging with an improvement in services activity, which is now settled in expansionary territory, and signs that consumer confidence is returning. The ECB put out a reassuring message, lowering its inflation forecasts even though services inflation is stuck at 4% and commodity price pressures seem to be mounting after easing considerably in 2023.
