Market environment

  • April was dominated by the US–Iran conflict, with alternating phases of escalation and ceasefire. The two-week truce early in the month triggered a sharp correction in oil prices, but persistent tensions, renewed threats and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pushed Brent above $120/bbl, its highest since 2022, before stabilizing above $110/bbl by month-end, reinforcing fears of a prolonged energy shock.
  • Sticky commodity prices fueled renewed inflation pressures, with short-term inflation swaps moving significantly higher on both sides of the Atlantic, reinforcing stagflation concerns. This was reflected in a more hawkish tone from central banks, with markets still pricing around three additional ECB hikes by year-end and no longer expecting Fed easing, supporting a higher-for-longer environment.
  • In the US, the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged at 3.50–3.75% but adopted a more hawkish tone amid one of the most divided FOMC meetings on record. Data remained resilient, with flash Q1 GDP at 2.0% supported by domestic demand and PMIs in expansion, while inflation pressures intensified, with PCE index at 3.5% and strong upside signals from price paid components.
  • In the euro area, the ECB also left rates unchanged at 2% while signaling potential tightening as early as June. Growth weakened, with flash Q1 GDP at 0.1% and composite PMIs in contraction, reflecting geopolitical uncertainty, particularly in services, while inflation surprised to the upside, with April flash CPI at 3.0% YoY.
  • Against this backdrop, sovereign yields moved moderately higher in the US and Germany, with US 2-year and 10-year yields up around +5bps and +6bps and German 2-year and 10-year yields rising by about +3bps. Paradoxically, risk appetite was much more pronounced on the credit front, where credit spreads in the high-yield spectrum tightened by -60bps on the iTraxx Xover index during the month of April.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • Interest rate strategies contributed positively to performance, notably driven by long positions at the front end of the euro curve, which benefited from the mid-month rally following the two-week ceasefire announcement, as well as exposures to Eastern European emerging markets, including Hungary and Romania.
  • Credit exposure was the main contributor over the month, supported by both carry from short-dated corporate bonds, a marked tightening in credit spreads. Furthermore, the Fund benefited from our exposure to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs).
  • Finally, inflation strategies in both Europe and the US performed strongly, benefiting from a rise in inflation expectations on both sides of the Atlantic.

Outlook strategy

  • In a context of ongoing geopolitical volatility, persistent inflationary pressures and continued central bank repricing, we actively managed the portfolio’s duration, slightly reducing it from 2.5 to 2.3 over the month. We gradually reduced our exposure to the front end of the euro curve before increasing it again towards month-end, taking advantage of markets repricing nearly three ECB rate hikes to add duration in the 2-year German segment and 5-year Italian bonds. At the same time, we took profits on our emerging market positions by exiting Hungary and trimming Romania amid rising political uncertainty.
  • We maintain a significant allocation to credit, primarily invested in short-dated, high-quality corporate bonds, offering an attractive source of carry with limited sensitivity to market volatility.
  • On rates, the portfolio maintains long exposure at the front end of the euro curve, combined with short positions on US rates in a context of resilient growth and persistent inflation, as well as on French government bonds, reflecting ongoing political and fiscal uncertainties.
  • The portfolio continues to maintain exposure to inflation through breakeven strategies in both the euro area and the United States.
  • Finally, we maintain an allocation in money market instruments, providing liquidity that is gradually being redeployed into longer-term bonds offering more attractive yields. The portfolio’s yield-to-maturity remains attractive at around 4%, reinforcing its carry profile.
