Performance commentary
With interest rates experiencing upside pressures and spreads on the riskiest segment of the credit market widening, our combination of lower duration on core debt and exposure to the most defensive segments of the credit market meant the Fund’s performance was only slightly negative, and better than that of its reference indicator. Our allocation to short-dated, highly rated corporate and financial bonds with attractive carry limited the impact of higher interest rates in February. However, the portfolio was affected by its long positions on the short end of the European yield curve. The portfolio’s selection of collateralised loan obligations and exposure to money market instruments continued to have a positive impact.Outlook strategy
We steadily increased the portfolio’s duration from 2 to 2.4 in April, strengthening our position on the short end of the European curve and adding to our steepening strategy as the market lowered its expectation of rate cuts in 2024, predicting fewer than three at month-end. In this scenario of a soft landing for the European economy, mainly thanks to an improvement in real income and to inflation gradually moving back towards the ECB’s target, paving the way for an initial rate cut in June, the portfolio’s modified duration remains moderate at around 2.4, mainly involving inflation and curve steepening strategies, and a significant credit allocation. We still view credit, which accounts for nearly two thirds of our portfolio, as an attractive performance driver from a buy-and-hold perspective, and are keeping some tactical hedging given the valuation levels now reached. Our exposure is concentrated on short-dated investment grade issues, with financials, energy and CLOs our three strongest convictions. The portfolio’s average yield was around 4.7% at month-end, at the top of its 10-year range, and this should drive performance over the year ahead.Performance Overview

Market environment
Investors lowered their expectations of key rate cuts at the Federal Reserve this year, pushing up yields such as the US 2yr, which gained 34 bps over the month to pass the 5% mark. This readjustment happened gradually over April as inflation figures were particularly solid across the Atlantic. The consumer price index in particular surged to +3.5% y/y. The roots of inflation are keeping Fed members on their guard as retail sales and employment data point towards a no-landing scenario for the US economy. Desynchronisation continues with the planets aligning in the Eurozone where inflation eased further to +2.4% y/y, allowing the ECB to take a much more dovish tone. The economic recovery is more visible in leading indicators as well as growth figures, which are beating the consensus forecast. However, this uncoupling has not helped European yields, which have followed the same upward trajectory as their US equivalents. The 10-year Bund yield gained 29 bps in April. The geopolitical situation has deteriorated in the Middle East after Iran’s bombardment of Israel, fuelling risk aversion among investors as well as inflation, with commodity prices surging.
