Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Performances are net of fees (excluding possible entrance fees charged by the distributor). The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 2019/2088 is a European regulation that requires asset managers to classify their funds as either 'Article 8' funds, which promote environmental and social characteristics, 'Article 9' funds, which make sustainable investments with measurable objectives, or 'Article 6' funds, which do not necessarily have a sustainability objective.

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 delivered a negative performance in absolute terms in October, slightly down on its performance indicator in an environment of sharply accelerating interest rates and slightly widening credit spreads.- Our issuer selection once again made a positive contribution to the Fund's performance, particularly the main investment themes, such as financial bonds and the energy sector.- On the other hand, a special situation in our portfolio made a negative contribution to performance following unfavourable news.- Finally, we continue to benefit from our collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are performing steadily.

Outlook strategy

We continue to focus on our core investment themes through a selection of high yield bonds, energy, financials and our selection of CLOs (collateralized loan obligations).- In addition, in this volatile environment, we are maintaining our market hedging strategies at over 20%, to protect the portfolio against the risk of further market disruption, while focusing on alpha.- Indeed, after years of weakness due to abundant liquidity and a low cost of capital, default rates should return to more normal levels, which we see as a catalyst that should create real idiosyncratic opportunities.- Finally, the portfolio's high carry (over 6.9%) and attractive credit valuations should mitigate short-term volatility and help generate medium- to long-term returns.
