Market environment

  • January saw a renewed rise in geopolitical tensions, with the capture of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro by the United States, pressure from Donald Trump on European partners to gain control of Greenland, and growing US–Iran tensions amid stalled nuclear talks. This backdrop increased market volatility and supported higher commodity prices, especially energy and precious metals.
  • In the United States, the Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.75%, its first pause since July amid sustained growth and inflation remaining above target. Producer prices accelerated, pointing to persistent upstream inflation pressures, while economic data remained solid, with Q3 GDP revised up to 4.4%, strong durable goods and factory orders, and a still-tight labor market. Late in the month, President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to the Fed briefly increased market volatility, reflecting concerns over a more hawkish policy stance.
  • In Europe, inflation came in slightly weaker than expected, with headline inflation easing to 2.0% year-on-year in December, supporting expectations of a possible ECB rate cut later in the year. At the same time, euro area’s GDP surprised on the upside, growing by 0.3% in the fourth quarter, although growth projections for 2026 are weaker.
  • In Japan, political uncertainty rose after the Prime Minister called a snap election for February, reviving fiscal concerns. Long-end JGBs sold off, while the BoJ struck a hawkish tone by upgrading its inflation outlook despite holding rates steady.
  • Rate markets were volatile, with the US 10-year Treasury yield up 7bps over the month, while the German 10-year yield remained stable. Credit markets stayed resilient despite geopolitics, supported by strong technicals, with iTraxx Xover widening only slightly by around 3bps to 247bps.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance outperforming its reference indicator.
  • Interest rate strategies contributed positively overall, supported by long positions at the front end of the German yield curve. In the US, gains from short rate positions and breakeven inflation exposures, together with positive contributions from Eastern European sovereign bonds, more than offset the drag from short positions in French government bonds.
  • Credit exposure was the main contributor to performance over the month. The portfolio benefited from its carry strategies, notably through its exposure to the financial sector, particularly subordinated debt, as well as the energy sector.
  • Finally, the portfolio continued to benefit from our selection of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and money market instruments

Outlook strategy

  • In a context of persistent uncertainty marked by macroeconomic and political risks, trade tensions and fiscal concerns amid late-cycle valuations, we maintain duration slightly above the reference indicator. During the month, duration edged down from 2.6 to 2.4, reflecting an increase in our short position on US interest rates.
  • 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 hold a short position on French sovereign debt amid ongoing political and fiscal uncertainty, as well as a short position on the 7–10-year segment of the US curve combined with long breakeven inflation, reflecting overly optimistic rate-cut expectations amid resilient growth and inflation likely to remain above target.
  • We maintain our credit market protection (iTraxx Xover) as spreads have tightened to multi-year lows.
  • 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.
