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.- On the currency front, the US dollar strengthened, driven by resilient data implying a slower Fed easing cycle and the increased likelihood of a Trump victory. Conversely, this weighed on the currencies of emerging countries.

Performance commentary

  • The Fund underperformed its performance indicator, mainly due to the general rise in interest rates over the period.

  • In fixed income, our positions in US and UK debt and our exposure to certain emerging market debt, such as that of Brazil, Mexico and Poland, had a negative impact.

  • On the credit side, our exposure to developed markets, particularly in the energy sector, and our investments in the external debt of emerging countries such as Argentina and the Dominican Republic, made a positive contribution.

  • Finally, in terms of currencies, although we benefited from our exposure to the US dollar, the fund was affected by our positions in the Brazilian real and the Norwegian krone.

Outlook strategy

  • Against this backdrop of a soft landing for the economies and inflation continuing its gradual decline, we are maintaining a relatively high level of modified duration.

  • In terms of interest rates, we favour real rates in the United States and yield-increasing strategies in the United States and Europe. We are also focusing on central banks that are lagging the cycle, such as the UK, and on certain emerging countries, such as Brazil and Mexico.

  • On credit, we are maintaining our positive bias, albeit cautiously, given the high valuations, and are maintaining a substantial level of hedging on Itraxx Xover to protect the portfolio from the risk of spreads widening.

  • On the external EM debt front, we continue to favour special situations in countries whose economies are undergoing restructuring or improving significantly.

  • Finally, we remain cautious on the currency front, with particularly low exposure to the USD and EM currencies. However, we do have diversified exposure to the currencies of central banks that are taking a less accommodative stance against a backdrop of monetary easing by the Fed and Chinese stimulus measures, such as the Norwegian krone, the Australian dollar, the Japanese yen and the Brazilian real.
