FACTSHEET
KID
SFDR DISCLOSURE
31-Jul-2024 - Kenneth Orchard, Portfolio Manager,
The market continues to expect two or more US interest rate cuts this year. The US economy is showing signs of slowing and investors are pricing in a fair chance of a recession. However, we remain constructive about the economy and think that a recession is less likely with the Federal Reserve looking to ease.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We seek to add value primarily through sector allocation, currency selection, duration management, and security selection. Our approach is based on proprietary fundamental research and relative value analysis. There is a strong emphasis on risk management practices and portfolio diversification to manage the overall risk profile. 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.

31-Jul-2024 - Kenneth Orchard, Portfolio Manager,
Global fixed income markets, as measured by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index hedged to US dollars, generated strong absolute returns in July amid falling global sovereign yields across most countries. Our exposure to global investment-grade and high yield corporate bonds added to total returns. Global investment-grade corporate bonds performed well as falling yields boosted absolute returns. High yield bonds across the globe advanced in July. Within the portfolio, holding duration in the US notably contributed for the period with US Treasury yields significantly falling as investors increasingly expected the Federal Reserve to begin easing monetary policy at its September meeting. A short position in the Chinese renminbi also dragged on performance as the currency appreciated. In an attempt to boost growth, the People’s Bank of China surprised the market by lowering the seven-day reverse repurchase rate and decreasing the rate on its medium-term lending facility.
31-Dec-2023 - Kenneth Orchard, Portfolio Manager,
The portfolio eliminated its exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in December after a run of strong performance for the sector. We tactically managed our MBS exposure over the past few months, thanks to the insights from our sector strategy team, but we believe agency MBS spreads have tightened to unattractive levels relative to other assets.
31-Dec-2023 - Kenneth Orchard, Portfolio Manager,
We decreased overall portfolio duration posture over the period. We trimmed our duration allocation in the US and moved to a modest net short posture in the eurozone. With inflation trending lower, growth moving sideways and the declining likelihood of a global recession, we believe a bias for a steepening yield curve is appropriate in the near term.
31-Dec-2023 - Kenneth Orchard, Portfolio Manager,
In currencies, we maintained an underweight position in the US dollar with the currency likely to lose support as the Federal Reserve is expected to cut policy rates in 2024. During the month, we initiated a long position in the Turkish lira on attractive valuations. We believe the currency could benefit from a gradual return to more orthodox monetary policy as Türkiye aims for relative stability for the currency.
