Portfolio Positioning as of 9/30/2023

  • Given the rate volatility, we have been selling callable bonds priced close to par to improve the convexity of the Fund and positioning the portfolio to have higher probabilities of performing better in a wide range of potential interest rate scenarios. Along the same lines, we have been buying bonds with higher coupons and longer call protection to position in more favorable structures.
  • We continue to overweight Industrial Development issuers, lower quality investment grade bonds and non-investment grade credits and bonds subject to AMT. While these parts of the market can exhibit volatility in periods of stress and underperformed in last year’s sell off, many have performed well since the start of the year. We believe that these areas of the market may exhibit strong performance as rate volatility diminishes and mutual fund flows recover.
  • Given the flatter curve out to 12 years and the inversion of the shorter end, we have been transitioning to a barbell structure without changing the targeted duration range. We believe short-term bonds (1-4 years) are attractive given their elevated yields and limited duration exposure, along with bonds beyond 12 years, given the attractive steepness at this part of the curve. Simultaneously, we have been selling 8-to-12-year bonds where yields are lowest.
  • We continue to have a positive view on corporate-backed bonds within the Industrial Development sector and remain overweight relative to the benchmark. We believe many of these issuers, particularly those tied to commodities, are in a strong fundamental position.
  • We remain constructive on the Transportation sector. Many issuers within the sector are in strong fundamental positions and have benefitted from the increased user volumes in the recovery from the pandemic. Additionally, many parts of the sector are deemed essential and have received significant government support over the past three years.

The Bloomberg 1-15 Year Municipal Bond index is the 1-15 year component of the Municipal Bond index. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term tax-exempt bond market. The index is a broad measure of the municipal bond market with maturities of at least one year.  To be included in the index, bonds must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following ratings agencies: Moody's, S&P, Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment-grade. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date.
