Market environment

  • The Fed kept its target range unchanged at 3.75–4.00%, maintaining a data-dependent stance amid resilient activity and persistent inflationary pressures. US GDP grew by 3.4% annualized in Q3, supported by consumer spending, investment and government expenditure, while price pressures remained elevated with core PCE inflation remained elevated at 3.1% YoY.
  • The ECB also kept its deposit rate unchanged at 2.50%. Euro-area growth surprised positively, with GDP expanding by 1.3% YoY in Q3 despite weaker activity in France. Inflationary pressures remained uneven, rising in France and Italy while easing in Germany.
  • Risk sentiment deteriorated amid renewed concerns around the technology and AI sectors and higher energy prices. Brent rose 14% over the month, while European natural gas reached its highest level since 2022, reinforcing near-term inflation concerns.
  • Against this backdrop, core sovereign bonds rallied, with US 2-year and 10-year yields declining by 31bps and 36bps respectively, while their German counterparts fell by 14bps and 26bps. Credit markets weakened, particularly in high yield, with the iTraxx Xover widening over the month.
  • Political and fiscal concerns also weighed on local markets. French government bonds underperformed, with the 10-year OAT-Bund spread widening by 38bps, while in Brazil, Lula’s unexpected fourth-term victory triggered a sharp sell-off in Brazilian assets amid renewed fiscal concerns.

Performance commentary

  • The fund delivered a strong absolute return in October, also outperforming its reference indicator.
  • In this volatile market, all our strategies have worked well and delivered positive return. Best contributors were inflation linked bonds which benefited from higher-than-expected CPI prints in developed economies while overlay strategies were also a strong performance driver notably our overlay position on euro sovereign rates.
  • Over the month we increase our short exposure on US long term rates while reinforcing our exposure US inflation swaps.
  • The duration is slightly up over October from 3.3 to 3.4 while we have reinforced our exposure to Italian inflation linked bonds and reduced slightly our overlay on the long end of euro yield curve.

Outlook strategy

  • The current environment remains particularly supportive of a flexible fixed income strategy. While valuations continue to appear rich across several asset classes, we expect market volatility to remain elevated in the coming months, creating attractive investment opportunities.
  • Inflation risks remain skewed to the upside on both sides of the Atlantic, driven by US tariff and immigration policies, as well as ongoing disruptions in energy markets stemming from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
  • Although markets have significantly repriced the front end of both European and US yield curves, we believe the long end remains vulnerable to further adjustment. The continued deterioration in fiscal dynamics across developed economies should increasingly translate into higher term premia and, ultimately, higher long-term interest rates.
  • Against this backdrop, we have adopted a more constructive stance on the front end of the euro yield curve, which should benefit from lower short-term yields should the ECB prove more dovish than currently priced by the market. At the same time, we maintain short positions at the long end of both the euro and US sovereign yield curves, reflecting our cautious view on long-term rates.
  • We also maintain a meaningful allocation to inflation-linked securities as a hedge against more persistent inflationary pressures. Within credit, we continue to favour overlay strategies focused on the high-yield segment, where current valuations leave limited room for disappointment and appear increasingly vulnerable to a renewed widening in credit spreads.
