Market environment

  • February was marked by a broader risk-off environment, initially triggered by a sell-off in software sector amid rising concerns about the impact of AI on employment and further exacerbated by renewed geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. The introduction of a 10% global tariff following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to suspend previous discretionary tariffs added to uncertainty and reinforced the cautious tone across markets.
  • In the United States, the Fed’s January minutes were hawkish, signaling limited scope for near-term rate cuts and leaving open the possibility of further tightening if inflation remains above target. Economic data remained solid: January job creation surprised to the upside, unemployment fell to 4.3%, wage growth accelerated to +3.7% YoY, both producer prices and core PCE came in above expectations, underscoring persistent inflation pressures.
  • In Europe, the ECB kept its key rate unchanged at 2%, describing the economy as resilient and inflation as being in a “good place”. Leading indicators continued to signal expansion in the euro area, mainly supported by stronger services momentum in Germany.
  • In Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party secured a two-thirds majority in the early legislative election, enabling Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to advance her expansionary agenda more easily.
  • In this risk-off environment, driven by geopolitical tensions and growing concerns about the impact of AI, sovereign bonds rallied. The US 10-year yield fell by 29bps to below 4%, while the German 10-year Bund yield declined by 19bps. In credit markets, spreads widened, with the iTraxx Xover index up 13bps to 260bps.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance but underperformed its reference indicator.
  • Despite the positive contribution from our long positions at the front end of the euro curve, particularly in German rates, our short positions in US and French government bonds, as well as our breakeven inflation strategies, detracted from performance, offsetting these gains.
  • Credit exposure was the main driver of performance over the month. The portfolio benefited from its carry strategies, particularly through exposure to the financial and energy sectors. In addition, our hedging positions via the iTraxx Xover contributed positively amid the widening of credit spreads.
  • Finally, the portfolio continued to benefit from our selection of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and money market instruments.

Outlook strategy

  • In a volatile risk-off environment driven by AI-related concerns and geopolitical tensions, we actively adjusted the portfolio’s duration. Over the month, duration was reduced from 2.4 to 2.0, mainly reflecting the closure of our short US rates position in favour of 10-year Bund exposure. US Treasuries are benefiting more clearly from safe-haven flows, while euro area inflation remains more sensitive to a potential oil price spike, leaving Bunds relatively more vulnerable.
  • On the one hand, we continue to hold a sizeable allocation to credit, primarily invested in short-dated, highly rated corporate bonds, which provide an attractive source of carry while maintaining a relatively low sensitivity 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. We also maintain a short position in French sovereign debt amid ongoing political and fiscal uncertainty, alongside long positions in US and euro area breakeven inflation, reflecting resilient economic activity on both sides of the Atlantic.
  • We continue to maintain our credit hedges through the iTraxx Xover to protect the portfolio against a potential widening of credit spreads.
  • Finally, we maintain part of the portfolio in money market instruments, helping to contain overall volatility while providing liquidity that can be redeployed in the event of a market correction.
