Portfolio Positioning as of 3/31/2024

  • Given the rate volatility, we have been selling callable bonds priced close to par seeking to improve convexity, in order to position the portfolio to have a higher probability of performing better in a wide range of interest rate scenarios. We have been reallocating to bonds with more favorable structures, such as higher coupon bonds with longer call protection.
  • Due to the inversion of the front end of the yield curve, we continue to favor a barbell structure while maintaining the portfolio’s targeted duration range. We have been adding to short-term bonds (1-3 years) given their elevated yields and lower duration, and adding to bonds maturing beyond 12 years, given the steepness at this part of the curve. Simultaneously, we have been reducing 6-to-10-year bonds where yields are lowest.
  • We remain overweight the lower quality tiers of investment grade, which offer a significant yield pickup compared to higher-rated tiers, and maintain a modest exposure to non-investment grade bonds relative to the all-investment grade benchmark. We believe this will help drive outperformance over the long term.

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.
