Market environment

  • The economic activity seems well oriented in the United States both in terms of growth with leading indicators that continue to hover in expansion territory. Despite the shutdown that prevented the publication of certain economic data, inflation at the end of September showed a sign of acceleration again exceeding the 3% threshold on an annual basis.
  • The Federal Reserve delivered a 25-bps rate cut, but Jerome Powell struck a cautious tone on the policy outlook, as FOMC members appeared increasingly divided on the path forward amid persistent inflation and resilient economic activity.
  • In the euro area, activity indicators improved, with both the composite and services PMIs moving back into expansion territory, supported by a rebound in Germany while Q3 GDP grew by +0.2%, slightly above expectations.
  • The ECB for its part maintained a status quo on its monetary policy given an inflation that continues to hover above the target at +2.1% for the headline component and +2.4% for core inflation with no bearish signal for the future.
  • The credit markets remained stable in October thanks to an appetite that is still marked by investors, the Itraxx Xover index slightly widened by +4bps. On the other hand, rates were tilted on the downside with German 10-year yield easing by -9bps and US counterpart by -7bps.
  • In the currency front, the Fed’s unexpectedly hawkish stance made the US dollar the top-performing G10 currency in October, while expectations of slower Bank of Japan hikes weighed on the yen.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator, supported by all three performance drivers: rates, credit and currencies.
  • Regarding our interest rate strategies, the broad-based decline in yields over the month benefited our long positions in the US, Germany and the UK, while our short positions in French rates detracted from performance. Within emerging markets, the portfolio benefited mainly from its exposure to South African rates, supported by improved fiscal data and slightly easing inflation, which reduced concerns about further tightening from the SARB.
  • Our credit exposure was one of the main contributors to performance during the month, driven primarily by our selection of hard currency emerging market debt, with Argentine exposure being the largest contributor following the victory of Milei’s coalition, signalling policy and economic continuity for the country.
  • Finally, on the currency side, the Fund benefited from the strong performance of the US dollar as well as from our selection of emerging market currencies such as the Chilean peso and the Kazakh tenge.

Outlook strategy

  • In a context of slowing growth—though without entering a recession—marked by signs of weakness in the labour market and ongoing trade tensions, we expect that major central banks in both developed and emerging markets will maintain accommodative policies. In this environment, we are maintaining a relatively high modified duration of around 4, mainly through exposure to emerging market debt and corporate credit, while remaining cautious on core rates.
  • In terms of interest rates, we are positioned short on US rates and long on breakeven inflation, as the market is optimistically pricing in almost four cuts, whereas the economy continues to show resilience and inflation remains well above target. In Europe, we are long on the short end of the curve, as the market no longer expects further rate cuts, and short on France due to political and fiscal risks. We are also positioned for lower UK rates given the deterioration in economic data, and short on Japanese rates, where inflation expectations have been revised upwards. Finally, we remain selective on local emerging market rates, which continue to offer attractive real yields, notably in Brazil and in certain Eastern European countries.
  • On credit, we maintain significant exposure, particularly to hard currency emerging market debt and to a lesser extent to corporate credit, which continue to offer attractive carry. However, given relatively tight valuations, we remain cautious and maintain a high level of protection via iTraxx Xover to hedge against potential credit spread widening.
  • Finally, on currencies, we have slightly increased our exposure to the US dollar in line with our view that the Fed will not deliver all the rate cuts currently priced in by the market. Our currency selection includes Latin American currencies (the Brazilian real, Mexican peso and Chilean peso) as well as commodity-linked currencies (the Australian dollar and the Norwegian krone). We also maintain a long position in the Japanese yen, as the Bank of Japan is expected to be the only major central bank to raise rates this year.
