Portfolio Positioning as of 09/30/2024

  • 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 as we remain constructive on credit in general given the increased prospects for a soft-landing scenario. However, we increased the Fund’s exposure to BBs towards the latter end of the quarter as a reflection of concerns around economic growth. The Fund also maintained a modest allocation to CCCs, as we look to be selective in sourcing these potential investments that present more idiosyncratic opportunities as opposed to adding broader risk exposure.
  • We are more balanced in the Fund’s sector exposure. The Fund remained overweight the Basic Industry and Energy sectors, which continued to be the top overweight sectors by a meaningful margin. However, we reduced this overweight, specifically in Chemicals, Metals and Mining, and E&P subsectors, as these areas tend to be sensitive to lower commodity prices and slower economic growth. Instead, we added to more defensive sectors, such as Utilities and Healthcare. The Fund’s top sector underweights remained Media and Services, albeit at more modest levels relative to prior quarters.
  • We added to sectors that have historically benefited from a lower interest rate environment. With the Fed expected to implement further rate cuts in the near term, we have shifted focus to adding exposure in sectors that should benefit from a lower interest rate environment. These include sectors like Financial Services and Real Estate, as well as select opportunities in Telecommunications where certain companies have a more positive outlook amid a relatively more favorable refinancing environment.
  • 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 bonds as relatively attractive compared to other sectors.
  • We remain constructive on high yield credit despite the likely outcome of moderating economic growth. We look to be more dynamic going forward given the potential for market fluctuations in response to above trend growth slowing to a pace more akin to trend. The Fund currently holds a more balanced composition between cyclical and defensive sectors, as we have reduced areas like Energy and added to rate beneficiaries like Real Estate and Utilities. Notably, fundamentals for high yield issuers continue to be robust with leverage and interest rate coverage also remain at supportive levels, aiding the belief that defaults should be relatively benign as we move into 2025.  Key risk factors to watch remain a resurgence of inflation that upends the narrative accommodative monetary policy, a pivot by issuers to more non-credit-friendly uses of debt finance, and a macro or policy driven spike of interest rate volatility that would leave investors flipping to defensive with less focus on credit.
