Performance commentary
The Fund delivered a positive absolute return for March, in line with its reference indicator. Our portfolio benefitted from its main investment themes, whether investment grade or high yield, such as financials, energy, special cases and restructuring. Our collateralised loan obligations also had a positive effect.Outlook strategy
We are still concentrating on our main investment themes through a selection of high yield bonds (e.g. in the energy and financial sectors), which are less sensitive to higher interest rates, and collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) with a variable-rate structure, limiting the negative effects of interest rate volatility and rising default rates. In these volatile conditions, we kept our credit market hedging strategies at 20% to protect the portfolio from the risk of further market dislocation, while focusing on alpha. After remaining low for several years due to the liquidity glut and low cost of capital, default rates will probably return to more normal levels, which we view as a catalyst likely to create real stand-out opportunities. The portfolio’s high carry (over 7%) and attractive credit valuations should mitigate short-term volatility and generate medium- and long-term performance.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.
