Portfolio Positioning as of 06/30/2024

  • We continued to be overweight B-rated credits. The Fund remained overweight allocation to Bs relative to the benchmark, while underweight BBs. We believe that exposure to lower-rated credit currently offers the best relative value given the overall strength of the economy. While we are still constructive on credit in general given the resilience in the U.S. economy, we increased the Fund’s exposure to BBs towards the latter end of the quarter as a reflection of economic data that was softer than expected.
  • We favor cyclical sector exposure, specifically overweight allocations to Energy and Basic Industry sectors. Despite softer economic data, we remained constructive in cyclical sectors such as Energy and Basic Industry as a result of improved credit quality and stickier inflation. Within Energy, we remain focused on E&P and Oil Field Services subsectors, but with a shift in focus towards offshore energy as an attractive opportunity to find relative value. Within Basic Industry, primary overweights continued to be Metals and Mining and Chemicals, which continued to benefit from meaningful destocking of inventories over the last several months. The Fund also continues to be overweight sectors such as Financial Services and Banking. Conversely, the Fund finished the quarter underweight sectors such as Leisure, Capital Goods and Real Estate.
  • The Fund maintained modest exposure to off-benchmark sectors. We generally believe that select exposures to non-high yield sectors can offer attractive risk-reward opportunities, potential portfolio diversification benefits, and avenues for liquidity. While the Fund has the flexibility to toggle allocations to off-benchmark asset classes, such as bank loans and convertible bonds, we continue to view high yield corporate bonds as relatively attractive compared to other sectors.
  • We view short duration high yield as an opportunity to capture quality carry. We remain constructive in short dated high yield credit considering the overall health of the U.S. economy, relatively open capital markets and benign default rate outlook. Additionally, fundamentals for high yield issuers have been robust with leverage and interest rate coverage remaining at supportive levels. However, we acknowledge that the presence of higher policy rates for longer may lead to headwinds for certain high yield bond issuers, highlighting the importance of sound credit selection within the portfolio. Looking towards the second half of the year, we remain focused on maintaining a cyclical approach in the portfolio with emphasis on commodities, consumer cyclicals, and sectors with supportive underlying asset valuation that could allow for ongoing addressing of near-term maturities. However, we look to be more dynamic with our positioning given the potential for market fluctuations in response to some of the softer than expected macroeconomic data of late, including segments of rising consumer stress.
