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 generated a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator, which posted a negative return over the period.

  • Our cautious stance on modified duration and our inflation strategies enabled the portfolio to show a degree of resilience in an environment marked by a general rise in interest rates. However, our steepening strategy suffered as yield curves flattened over the period.

  • In addition, the portfolio benefited from its carry strategies on our credit bonds, slightly offset by our hedges aimed at reducing our exposure to the riskiest part of the market.

  • Finally, the portfolio continues to benefit from the good performance of our selection of Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) and our exposure to money market instruments.

Outlook strategy

  • The relative resilience of the various economies, with a soft landing for the European and US economies and inflation gradually returning to target, should enable the ECB and the Fed to continue their rate-cutting cycles.

  • However, given the political and geopolitical risks and the increasingly tight valuations on certain markets, the portfolio is maintaining a balanced positioning with a modified duration that has been kept below 2 over the period.

  • On the one hand, a significant allocation to credit, mainly invested in short-term, highly-rated corporate bonds and CLOs, which offer an attractive source of carry and a low beta relative to market volatility.

  • On the other hand, a long position on short maturities and a yield curve steepening strategy in the eurozone, which should benefit from a flight to quality in an unfavourable scenario, but also from the central banks' rate cutting cycle and upward pressure on the long end.

  • We are also retaining protection on the credit market (iTraxx Xover), with markets trading at tight levels in an uncertain geopolitical environment.

  • Finally, we have allocated part of the portfolio to money market instruments, which represent an attractive source of carry with limited risk.
