Portfolio Positioning as of 9/30/2024

  • We have meaningfully reduced our allocation to the asset class in recent years and are comfortable with our current commercial real estate portfolio. While we find compelling value within the asset class, we remain cautious given the wide range of possible outcomes in segments of the market.  
  • Given technical pressures, we believe agency RMBS show attractive relative value in the current environment and significantly increased the portfolio’s exposure to this sector over the quarter. We have been focused on 15-year mortgages with higher coupons and shorter weighted average lives consistent with our short duration mandate.   
  • Within Financials in investent grade corporates, we continue to favor diversified financial institutions with strong management teams and business models less dependent on deposits. Over the quarter, we decreased the portfolio’s exposure to the sector, taking profits on positions that have performed well.
  • At points throughout the quarter, including during the volatility in early August, we opportunistically added to short high yield bonds at wider spreads.
