Portfolio Positioning as of 12/31/2023

  • The portfolio’s allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) detracted from relative performance, particularly within single-asset, single borrower (SASB) securities, as concerns about commercial real estate fundamentals continue to weigh on the market. Although valuations are compelling, we remain cautious about certain segments of the market and continued to reduce the portfolio’s overall exposure to CMBS over the period. A significant amount of pressure has been priced into the market this year and we believe our positions are in a strong position to weather future fundamental deterioration. We maintain a high bar to add new positions, with a preference for high quality, liquid names.
  • The portfolio’s allocation to asset-backed securities (ABS) also led to a negative impact on relative performance as short-term ABS credit spreads were generally flat. While short-term ABS produced positive performance over the quarter, it underperformed the short-term investment grade corporate bond index. We continue to favor high-quality ABS within the auto sector, focusing on newly originated loans with superior underwriting. We modestly decreased the Fund’s ABS exposure over the quarter.
  • Security selection within investment grade corporate bonds was the primary contributor to relative returns, mainly within the Financial sector. We remain conservatively positioned in Financials, overweight large U.S. money center banks and European national champion banks, which we feel are particularly attractive in the current environment. The bank debt the portfolio holds is focused on institutions that have strong deposit franchises with robust credit cultures and strong management teams. We increased the portfolio’s exposure to investment grade corporate bonds over the period, primarily within the Automotive and Financial sectors.
  • The short-term, high yield allocation modestly contributed to relative performance over the quarter given significant spread compression in below-investment grade credit. Although our allocation to high yield corporate bonds is near historic lows given the reduced availability of yield-to-call names, we continue to seek opportunities in higher quality parts of the market, such as Energy, and idiosyncratic situations associated with mergers or credit events.
  • The Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) allocation also led to a positive impact on relative performance given the significant compression of high-quality CLO credit spreads. The portfolio’s CLO allocation is very short in maturity, AAA-rated and exhibits low spread volatility.
