Investment object

The objective of this Sub-Fund is to achieve an increase of the capital invested by exposure to the international bond markets, using investments principally in bonds of any sort and other similar debt securities, to the extent that they are among the investments authorised by the Law of 2010 on Part I funds, such as (but not exhaustively) bonds issued by governments, regional entities, supranational organisations and companies, convertible bonds, certificates of deposit, short-term notes and treasury notes with a term longer than twelve (12) months. The Fund does not aim to replicate the composition of the benchmark; therefore, it also invests in financial instruments not present in the benchmark or present in different proportions

In April, against a backdrop of higher-than-expected inflation and growth, rates rose, especially in the US, where the number of expected cuts by the Federal Reserve was significantly reduced compared to the previous month.

Monthly comment from the manager

This change of scenario was also reflected in credit spreads, which began to widen, especially on higher beta segments, not only in dollars but also in euros, despite the ECB's statements continuing to support the hypothesis of a beginning to rate easing as early as the June meeting. In the euro area, Investment Grade and Subordinates underperformed by about 1 point, with CoCos underperforming all other segments. In contrast, the aggregate results in High Yield were only marginally negative, but with a gap of about half a point between BB and B, with the latter reversing the outperformance trend of recent months.

In this context, the strategy performed negatively but broadly in line with the benchmark. Against new subscriptions, amounting to around 5% of assets, taking advantage of the rise in rates, the weight of the Investment Grade segment was increased, especially on 6-7 year maturities, closing the negative duration gap with respect to the index maintained until the end of March. High Yield valuations continue to remain unattractive, especially in the face of increasing idiosyncratic risks related to potential debt restructurings on some issuers.

On the other hand, the retracement shown by AT1 instruments could offer an upside opportunity for the segment. Looking forward, we thus believe that the conditions continue to be in place to gradually increase portfolio duration, taking advantage of the retracement of rates, and to maintain an overweight on subordination risk.
