Market environment

  • March was marked by the joint US–Israel strike on Iran, triggering a sharp escalation in regional tensions. Repeated attacks on energy infrastructure and disruptions to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz led to a significant energy shock, with oil prices rising above $110 per barrel, fueling inflationary pressures globally.
  • Tensions rose also in the software sector (meaningful in US credit) and redemptions climbed in private credit.
  • Credit markets widened in March, with primary markets slowing meaningfully, although volatility was somehow muted relative the amount of fundamental stress accumulating.

Performance commentary

  • The fund posted a negative performance over the period.
  • Financials were the main detractor. To a lesser extent, we were also impacted during the month by one of our idiosyncratic situations in the real estate segment.
  • The rest of the portfolio remained resilient, benefiting from lower beta exposure and a strong focus on idiosyncratic risk, with returns primarily driven by security-specific factors rather than market direction.
  • Note that our CLO pocket showed strong resilience, declining by only 3bps over the month (c.12% average allocation), reflecting our cautious stance and high-conviction selection within the segment.

Outlook strategy

  • The current level of dispersion across credit markets continues to create attractive alpha-generation opportunities for active and selective investors.
  • We expect the rising market stress will create attractive opportunities for disciplined credit investors.
  • We also believe that the distressed and restructuring segment should offer an increasing number of opportunities over the medium term.
  • Our historically low level of exposure in structured credit should enable us to seize attractive opportunities in the CLO segment, which we expect to materialize on the back of increasing dispersion and reassessment of credit margins.
  • Other large allocations include financials, issuers in the natural resources space as well as the reorganized equity received in the context of a distressed debt investment.
  • The bond portfolio yield is now close to 7.4% (vs. 6.7% as of end of Feb.), with an average rating of BB.
  • We remain prudent in terms of positioning, the fund runs with close to no leverage at the moment and retains the full flexibility to take advantage of potential future volatility.
