    Portfolio Positioning as of 12/31/2024

    • Over the quarter, we decreased the portfolio’s allocation to investment grade corporates, monetizing positions mainly within the Financial and Utility sectors that have performed well.  

    • We increased the portfolio’s exposure to high yield corporate bonds, focusing on higher-rated securities with short average lives as well as positions we believe have the potential to be upgraded to investment grade.   

    • Although the portfolio's ABS allocation decreased overall during the quarter, there was considerable activity throughout the period. We increased exposure at the start of the quarter, seeking to take advantage of attractive relative value due to above-average supply. Given the outperformance of ABS, we subsequently monetized much of the new positions as well as some existing holdings by the end of the quarter.

    • We believe agency RMBS offer attractive relative value in the current environment and provide diversification benefits relative to corporates. Our focus has been on 15-year mortgages with higher coupons and shorter weighted average lives, aligning with the short duration mandate.
