Portfolio Positioning as of 06/30/2024

  • The portfolio’s allocation to fixed and floating-rate corporate bonds contributed to performance due to their attractive carry relative to Treasury Bills. Over the quarter, we decreased allocations to short-term corporate bonds given more attractive relative value in other sectors.
  • The portfolio’s allocation to asset backed securities (ABS) led to a positive impact on relative performance. Higher-rated ABS was the portfolio’s largest increase over the quarter given compelling relative value. Using investment grade corporates as a funding source, we’ve reallocated to higher quality ABS, where excess issuance has led to attractive risk adjusted spreads. By accepting this technical headwind, the portfolio has moved up in quality without sacrificing carry.
  • The portfolios allocation to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) contributed to relative performance over the period given the asset classes greater carry relative to Treasury Bills. The portfolio’s entire allocation in CLOs is AAA-rated and we continue to find this sector as an attractive opportunity set for yield pick up as well as diversification relative to investment grade corporates.
  • The portfolio’s very modest allocation to residential mortgage-backed securities led to a slight negative impact on relative performance. While the allocation generated positive performance, it underperformed Treasury Bills.
