Tracking error a posteriori (%) The ex-post tracking error is defined as the volatility of the fund's achieved excess return over the index return. In fund management, most managers are subject to an ex-ante (pre-determined) tracking error, which defines the extent of the additional risk they may take when aspiring to outperform the fund's benchmark. The ex-post tracking error explains the distribution of past fund performances compared to those of its underlying benchmark. With a higher tracking error, the fund's returns deviate more from its index's returns, hence there is a greater chance that the fund may outperform. The wider the spread of returns relative to the benchmark, the more "actively" a fund has been managed. In contrast, a low tracking error indicates more "passive" management.	0.74	1.14
Information ratio This ratio serves to evaluate the quality of the excess return a fund manager has achieved because it takes the active risk involved into account. The information ratio is defined as the excess return over the benchmark return divided by the fund's tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the better. For example, a fund with a tracking error of 4% and an excess return of 2% over benchmark has an information ratio of 0.5, which is quite good.	-0.68	0.22
Indice di Sharpe This ratio measures the risk-adjusted performance and allows the performance quality of different investments to be compared. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the fund's returns and dividing the result by the fund's standard deviation (risk). So the Sharpe ratio tells us whether a fund's returns are the result of smart investment decisions or stem from taking extra risk. The higher the ratio, the better, meaning that a greater return is achieved per unit of risk. This ratio is named after its inventor, Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe.	0.95	0.10
Alpha (%) Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's actual return and its expected performance, given the level of risk, compared to the benchmark. A positive alpha figure indicates that the fund has performed better than expected, given the level of risk. Beta is used to calculate the level of risk compared to the benchmark..	-0.21	0.27
Beta Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the benchmark. A beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio will move with the benchmark. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio will be less volatile than the benchmark. A beta of more than 1 indicates that the portfolio will be more volatile than the benchmark. For example, if a portfolio's beta is 1.2 it is theoretically 20% more volatile than the benchmark.	0.93	0.92
Scostamento standard Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread out the data is, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment's volatility (risk).	3.68	6.11
Utile mensile max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute positive monthly performance in the underlying period.	3.78	5.17
Perdita mensile max. (%) The maximum (i.e. highest) absolute negative monthly performance in the underlying period.	-1.79	-5.86

In June, high yield OAS widened by 11 bps to 276, and YTW widened 4 bps to 6.81%. The Iran war took a decisive turn in June after the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on mid June to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, making Brent crude tumble 21%, to settle near USD 73/bbl, though late-month tit-for-tat strikes underscored how fragile the truce remains. The US labor market softened, with June payrolls at just +57K (vs 110K consensus) and prior months revised down a combined 74K, though unemployment ticked down to 4.2% on a plunging participation rate. June core PCE rose to 3.4%, the highest since October 2023, as the energy shock continued. The FOMC held rates at 3.50%, but the dot-plot turned hawkish, with at least one hike being priced in this year. In Europe, the ECB hiked 25 bps to 2.25% on June 11, but the June flash CPI surprised to the downside at 2.8% (from 3.2%), with core at 2.4%, raising questions over whether July brings a hold or another hike. Dollar high yield issuance took pace in June, with USD 35 bln of high yield bonds issuance, and USD 13 bln affected by defaults/LME transactions.

Spiegazione della performance

Al 30-06-2026

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.20%. In June, the high yield benchmark returned 0.23%. Credit excess returns were strong over the month, with a tiny contribution from rates return as well, which ended the period flat, with the 10-year US yield at 4.46%. The portfolio outperformed by 11 bps. Issuer selection was positive, adding 12 bps to performance, while beta positioning's contribution was -1 bps. Euro-denominated bonds outperformed on a risk-adjusted basis, rebounding from several periods of weakness. While BBs delivered solid performance, overall B-rated corporates outperformed. From a sector perspective, underweight in the communications and overweight in the banking sectors added 8 and 4 bps, whereas overweight in the energy and underweight in the consumer cyclical sectors detracted 1 and 2 bps. Underweight in Virgin Media contributed 3 bps, as bonds slipped over the month on negative sentiment building up from the previous month's news. Overweight in Paragon bonds detracted 2 bps; despite a decent set of numbers, the company still is suffering from the software sell-off.

Global high yield enters 2026Q3 with valuations still tight, despite an increasingly complex macro backdrop. The Iran ceasefire and falling oil prices, together with signs of a cooling US labor market, should help contain inflation and reduce the need for further hikes from both the Fed and ECB. Geopolitical risk hasn't disappeared, however. While the immediate Gulf threat has diminished, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has entered a more unpredictable phase, and although markets have largely shrugged this off, it raises the risk of tail events and volatility spikes. Meanwhile, the AI investment cycle continues unabated, driving strong issuance across credit markets including a growing number of data center-related HY transactions, with investor demand comfortably absorbing supply so far. Dispersion remains elevated: most issuers trade well inside long-term averages, while a smaller group widens materially on company-specific concerns, refinancing risk or structural disruption. We remain cautious, emphasizing quality, resilience and downside protection, while avoiding areas where spreads offer insufficient compensation for the macro and geopolitical risks at hand.
