Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index returned 1.73% (hedged to EUR) last month. Credit spreads tightened while interest rates remained mostly unchanged. The 10-year US Treasury yield moved from 0.65% to 0.66%. The German 10-year yield remained unchanged at -0.45%. The credit spread on the Global Corporate Bond Index dropped 24 bps to 1.39%.June started off strongly caused by positive news around monetary policy actions, including the first corporate bond buying via the Fed, the slowdown of new Covid-19 cases and the relaxation of lockdown policies. This positive tone did not last very long though and after the first week of June spreads gradually widened for the rest of the month. An important reason for this weaker sentiment is the fact that also in large economies like the United States the peak in Covid-19 cases has not been reached yet. Also the market felt a bit tired after so many new deals had been issued since spreads peaked at the end of March. Lastly, it was clear that there still was a lot of negative economic news to come. Recessions also remove the bad apples and Wirecard, once Germany’s fintech wunderkind, filed for insolvency after missing EUR 1.9 billion in cash.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}The economic fallout that we saw in 20Q2 was unlike anything we have ever seen in our careers. On top of that, an oil supply shock created the perfect storm for risky assets. Markets have since soared and are treating Covid-19 as a growth shock. To justify this rally, we really need a normalization in earnings. We have our doubts that this will materialize. The ‘common enemy’ elicited a massive unconventional, coordinated series of stimulus by policy makers. Government stimulus is financed by central banks. We have our doubts about this, too. For corporates, the economic downturn thus far means cash burn and clear declines in EBITDA. Revenues were already slowing in Q1, particularly in energy, retail and basic industries. Sectors facing technology challenges have for long been under pressure, leaving operating margins with little cushion. Outlooks from credit rating agencies remain heavily skewed to the negative, meaning that fallen angel volumes of the spring are unlikely to be the last wave of downgrades. For now we remain constructive on investment grade, but go underweight on high yield again. Technicals rule but fundamentals might strike back. Be ready to buy once more.
