The first month of 2021 was an interesting one. At the beginning of the month, we had the US Capitol riots for Biden's inauguration. Bitcoin reached new highs as inflation fears picked up. Followed by equity market upheaval caused by retail investors challenging the status quo. New Covid strains with higher infection rates and a slow rollout of the vaccine during the winter months caused tighter lockdowns. The path to recovery will probably take longer than expected. Negative news flow hardly led to negative market reactions. Investors continue to expect central banks to remain accommodative for as long as is needed. Over January, investment grade and emerging markets generated flat excess returns versus Treasuries, while BB-rated credit had a positive excess return of around 50 bps.

In the RobecoSAM SDG Credit Income strategy we look for investments with a positive societal impact, whilst generating healthy financial returns. We define impact as an alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We identify and evaluate the impact that specific credits have on the SDGs, and score all the issuers under coverage of the analyst team. These scores categorize credits as having either a Positive, Neutral, or Negative impact on the SDGs. The scores are then used in a screening process, to define the investable universe that exclude credits with a Negative impact on the SDGs. In addition to the universe screening, our credit analysts integrate ESG factors in their analysis of the companies fundamental credit quality.

We expect that markets will be driven by Covid and vaccination news going forward. In market segments such as BB, subordinated financials and the hotel sector for example, additional spread tightening is possible. Central banks will remain supportive for now. However, we are aware that some parts of the market are priced for perfection and that the best part of the recovery after the March 2020 sell-off is behind us. We cannot rule out temporary volatility in credit markets and hold a portion of the fund in cash and Treasuries to invest in a sell-off.
