Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -1.14%. The Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index returned -2.32% (hedged to EUR) last month. The credit spread on the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index tightened from 133 basis points to 124 basis points, with a peak in March of 149. Both German and US 10-year yields rose significantly to 0.55% and 2.34% respectively, each rising more than 70 basis points. The underlying fund outperformed the benchmark by 0.45%. The top-down positioning contributed positively; the portfolio was underweight beta while spreads widened, and benefited from an increased beta while spreads tightened. Issuer selection contributed positively to our performance. We entered a trade where we are long 5-year European swap spreads. The swap spread contribution last month was positive, as swap spreads tightened. We see swap spreads normalizing over the next quarters. The biggest movers were Raiffeisen Bank, Suzano and Orbia.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}March was a dramatic time in the financial markets, featuring Russia's invasion of Ukraine, accelerating inflation, the start of another hiking cycle by the Federal Reserve as well as an inversion of the 2s10s yield curve. Losses were seen broadly across equities, credit and sovereign bonds. However, commodities were the one asset class that performed extraordinarily well, with energy, metals and agricultural goods all seeing large gains. Given Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the major package of sanctions imposed on Russia's economy, it was a very bad quarter for Russian assets. China has outlined extra fiscal support measures, supporting SMEs, and boosting infrastructure investments and property sales. The impact of higher oil and gas can cost, by some estimates, up to 3% of GDP. A tax on growth, besides its inflationary effects on headline inflation. This has put central banks in an awkward position. At the end of Q1, the market priced in more than 8 rate hikes by the Fed for 2022 – including three hikes of 50 bps. Meanwhile, in Europe, a rate hike in 2022 is now openly considered, contrary to the ECB President's remarks in December 2021 that a rate hike in 2022 was "very unlikely".

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Making an economic assessment was difficult even before the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, given the distortion in many data series after two years of Covid. This was why we entitled our previous Credit Quarterly Outlook 'Imperfect information and imperfect foresight'. With the conflict in Ukraine, higher oil prices and further supply chain disruptions, it is clear that an even wider set of possibilities has to be assessed for fundamentals. If anything, downside risks to the economy have risen materially and recession risk is now openly debated. Looking at monetary policy, the main worry we have is that developed market central banks are behind the curve. We think the Fed made a clear policy mistake by starting this tightening cycle too late. The key risks here are higher-than-anticipated hikes in the coming months, and inflation that not only lasts longer but peaks out at higher levels. It is clear that central banks will continue their tightening paths, for instance by reducing the amount of corporate bond buying in Europe. We aim for a portfolio beta that is closer to one, and we prefer European risk over US risk, on account of the Ukraine premium.
