FACTSHEET
KID
SFDR DISCLOSURE
31-Oct-2024 - Vincent Chung, Co-Portfolio Manager,
Overall volatility in global fixed income may recede in the near term with the outcome of the US presidential election settled in early November, but non-US currencies may still see higher-than-normal volatility given uncertainties around the timing and implementation of tariffs from the incoming Trump administration.

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-Oct-2024 - Vincent Chung, Co-Portfolio Manager,
Global fixed income markets, as measured by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index hedged to US dollars, generated negative results in October as global sovereign yields rose. The overall impact from our sector allocations and security selection weighed on absolute results in October as rising sovereign yields pressured total returns. Duration and yield curve positioning contributed for the month. While the portfolio’s broad duration exposure in the US had a negative effect, several maturity-specific short positions along the US yield curve added value for the month. In the US, solid economic data led investors to price in a slower pace of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and contributed to the increase in Treasury yields. Currency management had a slightly positive effect on absolute results. A short position in the Chinese renminbi added value. The US dollar advanced on stronger economic data and rising expectations for a more moderate pace in Federal Reserve rate cuts while the renminbi faltered.
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.
