Performance commentary
- In a deteriorated environment on the fixed income markets, the fund delivered a positive performance in both absolute and relative terms.- Our short strategies on long-term rates in the euro zone were the strongest contributors to performance alongside our inflation-linked instruments.- On the other hand, our exposure to US rates, particularly at the front end of the yield curve, was also a positive contributor.- During the month of March, we increased our sensitivity to eurozone rates following the rate shock, while reducing our exposure to credit.
Outlook strategy
- The current environment presents many uncertainties arising from the decisions of the Trump administration, which could result in more volatility in risky assets.- The portfolio focuses on the short end of the yield curves, which has potential for appreciation, in contrast to the longer maturities, which are likely to suffer from the wasteful policies of the various economies.- The disinflation dynamic seems less vigorous on both sides of the Atlantic, while the market continues to factor in a return of inflation below the central banks' sustainable target.- Based on these observations, we are embarking on a moderate level of interest rate sensitivity while deploying a strategy of steepening yield curves and a marked appetite for inflation products.

Market environment
-The main announcement of the month came from the German parliament, which adopted a reform of its debt brake policy in order to increase its military spending while approving the creation of a 500 billion euro infrastructure fund. -In the United States, the indicators have been mixed, with disappointment over the leading indicators, which reflect less dynamic growth prospects and more vigorous inflation.- On the other hand, US economic statistics remain robust, with strong household and business consumption ahead of the implementation of tariffs. -Core inflation fell slightly on both sides of the Atlantic at the end of February, now standing at +2.6% in the euro zone and +3.1% across the Atlantic. -The change in German fiscal policy doctrine resulted in a massive rate shock, as illustrated by the +33bp rise in the German 10-year rate, unlike its US counterpart, which remained stable in view of the uncertainties weighing on growth.
