Portfolio Positioning as of 6/30/2024

  • We decreased the portfolio’s exposure within investment grade corporate bonds over the quarter, taking profits on positions that have performed well and were trading at tight spreads.  
  • We increased exposure to short term high yield corporate bonds over the period given our expectations for strong nominal growth and positive real growth in the near term.   
  • The portfolio’s CLO allocation is composed of highly rated securities with short average lives and low spread volatility.
  • Higher-rated ABS was the portfolio’s largest increase over the quarter given compelling relative value. Using investment grade corporates as a funding source, we’ve reallocated to higher quality ABS, where excess issuance has led to attractive risk adjusted spreads, enabling the portfolio to move up in quality without sacrificing carry.
  • While we are comfortable with our commercial real estate portfolio and find compelling value within the asset class, we remain cautious and have continued to reduce the portfolio’s exposure given the wide range of possible outcomes.
