Annual chart

In February the positive momentum for risky assets already seen in the previous month continued, with stock markets in both the US and Europe continuing to reach new highs and credit continuing to tighten, especially on higher beta segments.

Manager's comment of the month

On the other hand, rates continued to reflect the withdrawal in expectations of cuts by the world's two major central banks, partly as a result of better-than-expected macroeconomic data. The US ten-year went from 3.90% at the beginning of February to 4.25%, while the Bund went from 2.15% to 2.50%.

Short-term rates continued to incorporate smaller cuts; at the end of the month, 75-100 bps of cuts by central banks were priced in for 2024. In this scenario, spreads tightened further, particularly on high-beta bonds and subordinated bonds. Investment grade lost an average of 1 point, while high yield and subordinates made moderate progress in both the USD and EUR markets. Among subordinates, CoCos put in the best performance, with an increase of about half a point.

In the currency sphere, the dollar appreciated against the remaining G10 currencies: the yen (-2.74%) and the Swiss franc (-2.42%) were particularly penalised due to the widening rate differential. The euro essentially managed to keep pace with the dollar (-0.46%).

On the programme, we slowly increased duration to over four years again, overweighting the short end of the European curve. At the beginning of the year we were convinced that there was room for rates to rise and were cautious about duration; we are now convinced that the market is fairer in pricing in cuts.
