| MARKET | |
| The Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal Index has returned -1.07% year-to-date. Since the beginning of 2018, municipal-Treasury yield ratios, the harbinger of relative value, fell notably on the front-end of the curve, while the ratio increased for longer maturity bonds, making 1-, 2-, and 3-year municipals relatively more expensive, while 10- to 30-year bonds became less expensive. | |
| The beginning of 2018 has been notable for the lack of municipal supply, driven largely by tax-reform removing the exempt status of certain types of municipal bond issues. Gross issuance has been $63 billion to the end of March, which compares to $92 billion in the same period last year - a decline of over 30%. | |
| The decline in issuance has coincided with consistently strong municipal mutual fund inflows, which were positive in 10 out of the 12 weeks of the first quarter of 2018. This technical backdrop set the stage for the richening of front-end municipals early in the year. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| The municipal yield curve steepened at the beginning of the year, (with longer rates moving higher, faster than front-end rates), detracting from the performance of the Payden California Municipal Income Fund, given the fund's "barbell" structure. The fund expects to maintain this structure, seeking enhanced yield from the long-end of the curve while anchoring duration with an overweight to floating-rate securities on the front-end. The allocation to floating-rate structures is anticipated to offer enhanced liquidity and defensive exposure, given rich front-end yield ratios and our expectation that the Federal Reserve will continue its tightening cycle. | |
| We anticipate that the lack of supply, coupled with strong retail demand, will continue to provide support to the municipal market in 2018. This could be especially pronounced in California, given that investors in high-tax states have an added incentive to allocate to municipals, in light of the new limitation on state and local income tax deductions. | |
