Market environment

  • US growth continues to gravitate above its historical average at +2.8% in the third quarter, benefiting from resilient domestic demand.- All the indicators point to greater resilience in the US economy, while inflation has also shown resilience, with a smaller-than-expected fall in the headline component to +2.4% YoY and a reacceleration in core inflation to +3.3% YoY.- The low point now seems to be behind us in the eurozone, as indicated by the stronger-than-expected rebound in GDP growth of +0.4% in the third quarter in the zone, on the back of more favourable momentum in Germany and France.- The European Central Bank cut its key rate by a further 25bp this month. This decision comes against a backdrop of headline inflation in the region at a 3-year low, contrasting with core inflation and the service component of inflation, which are still above the ECB's target at +2.7% and +3.9% respectively.- This environment of resilient growth has pushed yields higher, with the US 10-year gaining +50bp and its German counterpart +27bp. Risk appetite also paused, with credit spreads widening by +3bp on the Itraxx Xover index over the month.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund delivered a negative performance in absolute terms in October, slightly down on its performance indicator in an environment of sharply accelerating interest rates and slightly widening credit spreads.- Our issuer selection once again made a positive contribution to the Fund's performance, particularly the main investment themes, such as financial bonds and the energy sector.- On the other hand, a special situation in our portfolio made a negative contribution to performance following unfavourable news.- Finally, we continue to benefit from our collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are performing steadily.

Outlook strategy

  • We continue to focus on our core investment themes through a selection of high yield bonds, energy, financials and our selection of CLOs (collateralized loan obligations).- In addition, in this volatile environment, we are maintaining our market hedging strategies at over 20%, to protect the portfolio against the risk of further market disruption, while focusing on alpha.- Indeed, after years of weakness due to abundant liquidity and a low cost of capital, default rates should return to more normal levels, which we see as a catalyst that should create real idiosyncratic opportunities.- Finally, the portfolio's high carry (over 6.9%) and attractive credit valuations should mitigate short-term volatility and help generate medium- to long-term returns.
