Source text - English Bond Fund – USD (Fund performance report)
The fund delivered a positive absolute return in August and outperformed its benchmark.
Thanks to the neutral duration strategy, the portfolio was not exposed to any active duration risk.
The curve position (bullet) enhanced relative value slightly, despite little change in the yield curve.
Within the sector strategy, the underweight to US agencies versus the overweight to the high-grade public sector added to relative performance.
Corporate exposure added to relative return, mainly due to an overweight in financials.
US Treasuries had a positive month in August yields ending the month 5 to 15bp lower across the yield curve after a rise in early month. The two year Treasury note yield dipped 12bp to 1,0%, the ten year benchmark rate dropped 10 bp to 3.43% and also at the long end of the curve yields closed down 14bp at 4.21%. The yield curve hence was little changed with 2/10s edging 5bp wider to 243bp while 10/30s narrowed 5bp to 78bp. High Grade public bond spreads narrowed further by 10bp to 72bp over US Treasuries. Furthermore Investment Grade Corporate spreads tightened, albeit at a slower pace, for the 5 th month in a row shedding another 18bp and closing at 237bp as risk appetite remained unabated.
Incoming data indicates the economy is due for expansion as the manufacuring ISM signalled expansion in August.
CPI inflation is declining at -2.1% on the year, with core measures all slowing but still comfortably above zero. The Fed Funds remains unchanged 0 - 0.25%. Quantitative credit easing continues but is not expanding amid signs the Fed may feel it has done enough.
The fund is positioned with a neutral duration as yields have traded in a range recently while the forces of deflation continue to square off against Treasury supply and longer-term inflation expectations. We will continue to hold an overweight position in TIPS although we are expecting recent inflation expectations to subside with the realisation that, after a stimulus-fuelled burst, economic growth will be muted at best. We are underweight to US agency exposure and prefer high-grade public and collateralised debt. We maintain our overweight to investment-grade corporates and continue to favour financials over industrials.
