Market development

Per 31-10-2025

In October, high yield spreads widened by 13 bps to 287, with YTW also expanding 6 bps to 6.44%. In October, the US government entered a shutdown after lawmakers failed to reach a budget deal, forcing hundreds of thousands of federal employees on furlough and halting several key services. The disruption complicated the Federal Reserve's policy assessment, with policymakers deprived of crucial economic data. While no jobs report was released, inflation rose less than expected in September, up 2.9% month-on-month. Against this backdrop, the Fed cut rates by 25 bps to 3.75% and signaled the end of its three-year quantitative tightening phase, citing concerns over tightening money markets. Meanwhile, the AI investment boom continued to inject optimism, standing in contrast to a weakening labor market and the fiscal paralysis in Washington. In Europe, the ECB kept rates unchanged at 2%. High yield new issuance was the third highest on record, with USD 19 bln printed.

Performance explanation

Per 31-10-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.22%. In October, the high yield market had total returns of 0.20%. From a macro perspective, negative excess returns and volatile underlying rates, ending the month flat, contributed to this result. The portfolio outperformed by 9 bps this month, as issuer selection contributed 19 bps and underweight beta positioning added 1 bps. Our tilt toward higher quality credits contributed positively, as during the period, BBs outperformed and CCCs underperformed, on a risk-adjusted basis. Our higher allocation to EUR-denominated bonds did not contribute meaningfully, as they performed in line with USD. Our underweight in the capital goods and Consumer non-cyclical sectors contributed 6 and 5 bps, respectively, while our underweight in the communications sector detracted 1 bps. Our underweight in Organon contributed 5 bps, as bonds and equity of the company dropped after an investigation found that the company engaged in improper sales practices, involving less than 1% of consolidated revenue. Underweight in the healthcare operatory Community Health Systems detracted 3 bps, as the last quarter's earnings surprised to the upside; our fundamental concerns on leverage and margins pressures remain.

The third quarter of 2025 was again notable, with high yield spreads tightening to near record lows despite geopolitical tensions and softer economic signals. Markets remain resilient, largely ignoring repeated risk warnings. US growth is expected to slow to approximately 1.5% annualized, with labor data showing weaker job creation and private employment. Further deterioration could weigh on sentiment and spending, while inflation risks persist from tariffs, wages, and AI-driven power demand. Europe looks steadier, supported by savings, fiscal spending, and inflation back at target, though still exposed to US policy shifts. Despite stretched valuations, strong technicals prevail as investors, burned by past false alarms, avoid hedging and continue to chase new issues. We remain cautious, emphasizing quality and avoiding weaker segments where valuations no longer cover risks.
