Performance commentary
The fund delivered a positive performance in absolute as well as relative terms against its benchmark in this market configuration.
Our preference for US rates over European rates delivered a strong outperformance, as it did in the previous month, when US statistics pointed to an economic slowdown.
Carry instruments and our inflation strategies also continue to provide a solid contribution to the fund's performance.
During the month of February, we strengthened the fund's interest rate sensitivity through option strategies on the one hand, and reduced our credit exposure on the other.
Outlook strategy
We are observing a considerable difference in investor optimism for the US region at the expense of the euro zone, thus creating a favorable asymmetry for active management such as ours.
The portfolio is concentrated on the short end of the yield curves, which has potential for appreciation, in contrast to the longer maturities, which are expected 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 implementing a cautious level of modified duration with a preference for the US region, while deploying yield curve steepening strategies and a marked appetite for inflation products.

Market environment
In the US, the labour market continues to show strength, with the unemployment rate falling to 4.0%. At the same time, inflation has risen to 3.0% year-on-year.
Politically, Trump has begun to implement his programme, starting with an increase in tariffs on Mexico, Canada, China and Europe, which is expected to come into effect in the coming months.
Talks on a ceasefire in Ukraine have also begun, with Trump engaging in negotiations with Russia for the first time since the war began in 2022.
In the eurozone, inflation rose in January on the back of higher energy prices, while core inflation remained stable at 2.7%. Growth momentum improved slightly, with Q4 GDP revised up to 0.0% and the composite PMI rising to 50.3 thanks to a recovery in the manufacturing component.
Interest rates fell in February, particularly in the US, where the 10-year rate fell by -33 bp thanks to Donald Trump's announcements and leading indicators pointing to a slowdown, while the German 10-year rate fell more moderately by -5 bp.
