    Portfolio Positioningas of 03/31/2025

    • Duration positioning detracted from relative performance over the quarter. Being underweight duration versus the benchmark detracted as U.S. Treasury rates moved lower during the period.

    • An allocation to high yield corporate bonds also detracted from relative returns. We modestly increased the portfolio’s overall exposure to high yield corporates.

    • There were no other significant detractors over the period.

    • Security selection within investment grade corporate bonds contributed to relative performance, specifically within the Financials sector. We increased the portfolio’s overall exposure to investment grade corporate bonds as we believe they offer attractive relative value.

    • The portfolio’s allocation to ABS and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) modestly contributed to relative performance. Within CLOs and ABS, we decreased the portfolio’s overall exposure, specifically within AAA-rated.

    • The portfolio’s allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) contributed to relative performance. We believe this is an attractive asset class for high quality carry and it may perform well as rate volatility declines.
