Portfolio Positioning as of 3/31/2023

  • Each broad fixed income sector the Fund invested in produced a positive return during the period, therefore contributing to the Fund’s total return on an absolute basis.
  • The portfolios allocation to asset-backed securities (ABS) contributed to performance. Despite modest spread widening within short-term ABS, the sector outperformed corporate credit. We continue to favor high-quality ABS within the auto loan sector, focusing on newly originated loans with superior underwriting. The majority of the additions made during the quarter were within AAA-rated auto loans.
  • The portfolio’s allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) contributed to performance, despite some of the ongoing headwinds the sector has faced. Our focus on higher quality securities within CMBS helped to mitigate some of the underperformance the rest of the sector faced.  Although valuations are compelling across the sector, we are concerned about the potential for deteriorating commercial real estate fundamentals. We reduced the portfolio’s exposure to CMBS over the period specifically within floating rate SASB. We’ve maintained a very high bar to add with a preference for high quality, liquid names.
  • Additionally, the portfolio’s allocation to collateralized loan obligations (CLO) contributed to performance. We’re comfortable with the credit profiles of the CLO book as the allocation is very short in maturity, AAA-rated, and exhibits low spread volatility; therefore, relatively insulated from the fragilities of the broader asset class.
  • While front-end investment grade corporates were a big underperformer in the first half of March, with spreads nearly doubling given the notable weight of banks in the short-term indices, low duration corporate bonds contributed to performance over the quarter. Despite rising short-term rates, the portfolio’s allocation to fixed-rate corporate bonds contributed due to their attractive carry. Short-term corporate floating-rate notes also contributed as rates on bonds with 6-months or less in maturity rose. The aforementioned headwinds in early March created idiosyncratic opportunities at attractive valuations during the month.
  • The portfolio’s allocation to commercial paper also contributed to performance. We continue to increase the portfolio’s exposure to commercial paper given the attractive yields driven by an inverted yield curve, specifically at the 6-month part of the curve.
