Market development

Per 31-10-2025

Volatility in credit spreads was limited in October and spreads continued to trade around historical tight levels. High yield spreads were 5 bps tighter and closed at 303 bps, but investment grade spreads widened 2 bps to 80 bps. Emerging market spreads widened 2 bps to 236 bps. With the government shutdown continuing, the market is lacking key data on inflation and labor market developments. The Fed cut its policy rate by 25 bps in October, but signaled that a cut in December is not a given. Five treasury yields gave up part of earlier gains and closed the month at 3.69% from 3.74% last month. On the corporate front, most sectors continued to report decent earnings. The automotive sector in general reported solid volumes, while in homebuilding related sectors there were some disappointments. The banking sector reported strong earnings. A sector that continues to struggle is the chemical sector where management teams remain very cautious about outlook projections. Across sectors there are companies that disappoint, and reactions in equity and credit markets for some of these names was not very forgiving.

Performance explanation

Per 31-10-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.30%. The fund had a positive total return in October. Cash yields continued to make a positive contribution, with duration exposure contributing positively as well. The total contribution from credit was positive, which was mainly driven by issuer selection. The Turkish industrial WE Soda recouped some of the losses of last month, as there was no additional news on the allegations against its owner. Other positive contributors were the Indian pharmaceutical Biolin, and Chile Electricity. The position in Mexican chemical Orbia contributed negatively.

Expectation of fund manager

Evert Giesen
Jan Willem Knoll

The short-term outlook for growth in the US and Europe looks relatively benign for credit markets. While risks to growth definitely exist, these are largely longer-term. It is therefore surprising how flat credit curves are. This contrasts with treasury markets, which are already taking into account some of the longer-term risks. In this environment, we are more comfortable taking credit risk over spread duration risk. In our last outlook we noted that short-dated BB credit is probably less risky than long duration A and BBB bonds. With the higher conviction that economic growth will remain decent for now, we have an even higher conviction in our preference for credit risk over spread duration. There is a risk that at some point, markets will start looking at the longer-term risks and spreads will start to drift wider. For bonds with low spread duration, breakeven levels for spread widening are higher, which means that the portfolio is relatively protected. Part of the portfolio is invested in high-quality AAA-rated paper that can be redeployed if markets reprice at some point. It remains difficult to pinpoint when markets will look at longer-term risk again.
