31-Mar-2025 - Steve Boothe, Portfolio Manager,
Global growth remains reasonably strong, as do most consumer and corporate balance sheets. Still, the focus has shifted to the downside risks with uncertainty around tariffs and softer US growth data. While we expect more near-term weakness, we see better valuations as a buying opportunity and are actively looking to add risk on the margin.

Fund Summary
In constructing the portfolio, we seek to balance high-conviction positions with sensitivity to sovereign and liquidity risk. A proprietary, independent credit rating is assigned to all issuers and securities. We carry out a deep analysis of each issuer’s market share, management team quality, and financial strength. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.

Current Year Performance

Annualised Performance

31-Mar-2025 - Steve Boothe, Portfolio Manager,
Global investment-grade corporate bonds registered a positive total return in February as measured by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index. Global government bond yield moves fluctuated throughout the month and ended largely lower as investors digested mixed US data, increased defense spending in Europe, and news of US President Donald Trump planning to implement 25% tariffs on European goods. Global corporate bond spreads widened throughout the month as investors reacted to uncertainty in the global market, generating negative excess returns. Within the portfolio, security selection was the main driver of returns over February, aided by our choices in the communications, banking, and transportation sectors. Interest rate management also contributed. Specifically, our overweight allocation to the 5- and 10-year key rates aided results as that portion of the curve ended the month lower. Asset allocation was also supportive to relative returns thanks to out-of-benchmark allocation to the government agency and securitised sectors.
