Market environment

  • March was marked by the joint US–Israel strikes on Iran, triggering a sharp escalation in regional tensions. Repeated attacks on energy infrastructure and disruptions to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz led to a significant energy shock, with oil prices rising above $110 per barrel, fuelling global inflationary pressures.
  • The Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged while revising its inflation projections higher, now expecting PCE inflation at 2.7% by year-end. Economic data remained mixed: Q4 GDP growth was revised down to +0.7%, with early signs of labour market softening emerging. However, inflation indicators stayed firm, with upside surprises in producer prices and rising import and export prices.
  • In Europe, the ECB also left rates unchanged but adopted a more hawkish tone, lowering its growth outlook while revising inflation expectations upward. Activity indicators softened, with flash composite PMIs declining to 50.5, while inflation accelerated, with headline CPI rising to 2.5% year-on-year from 1.9%, driven by higher energy prices.
  • The month was characterised by a sharp repricing of monetary policy expectations. In the US, markets shifted from anticipating multiple rate cuts to pricing almost none by year-end, while in the euro area expectations moved from cuts to nearly three hikes following the escalation in the Middle East.
  • This repricing drove a significant rise in sovereign yields, particularly at the front end, resulting in a pronounced flattening of yield curves. Two-year yields increased by around +42 bps in the US and +62 bps in Germany, while 10-year yields rose by approximately +38 bps and +36 bps, respectively. Credit spreads also widened markedly, with the iTraxx Xover increasing by 93 bps to above 360 bps.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a negative performance slightly underperforming its reference indicator.
  • Interest rate strategies detracted from performance, notably due long positions at the front end of the euro curve, particularly in Germany, as well as some exposure to emerging markets, in a context of rising yields.
  • Credit exposure was the main detractor over the month. Despite supportive carry, performance was impacted by a sharp widening in credit spreads, with financials among the most negative contributors.
  • However, the portfolio’s defensive positioning helped to partially offset these losses. Credit protections via iTraxx Xover and inflation strategies in both Europe and the US made positive contributions, while short positions on French and US sovereign rates provided an effective hedge against rising yields.

Outlook strategy

  • In a volatile environment marked by a sharp repricing in rates, we increased the portfolio’s duration from 2.0 to 2.5 over the month. This was mainly implemented through the front end of the euro curve, particularly in German, Italian and Spanish 2-year bonds, where market expectations for three ECB rate hikes this year appear excessive. In parallel, we initiated a short position on the US 5-year via put options early in the month, which was subsequently reduced.
  • On the one hand, 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, complemented by credit protection via iTraxx Xover to protect against a widening spread.
  • Balanced by a differentiated stance on rates, with long positions concentrated at the front end of the euro curve, alongside short positions on US sovereign debt amid fiscal slippage and on French government bonds, reflecting ongoing political and fiscal uncertainties.
  • The portfolio also retains exposure to inflation through breakeven strategies in both the euro area and the United States, benefiting from recent energy-driven repricing dynamics.
  • Finally, part of the portfolio is invested in money market instruments, providing liquidity and gradually being reinvested into longer-term bonds to seize attractive yields following the recent sell-off. The portfolio’s yield-to-maturity has increased from 3.5% to 4.1%, strengthening its carry profile.
