Fund Commentary - 02/28/2023
| MARKET | |
| Markets started 2023 on a high note. Investors experienced broad-based gains across equities while sovereign bonds and credit markets had gains in January. This performance was driven by various factors, including the continuation of U.S. and European inflation easing, speculation that central banks would begin slowing interest rate hikes, and a decline in energy prices. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| While the probability of some extreme risk events has arguably lessened recently, we expect 2023 should be a challenging balancing act for policymakers and the global economy. We see the global economy entering a phase of slower growth and still elevated inflation with risks biased to the downside for growth and to the upside for inflation. | |
| On the flip side of this rather challenging outlook, underlying government and non-government bond yields are already reflecting a large degree of overtightening risk and pessimism regarding growth. Notwithstanding the current level of valuations, we generally favor a relatively conservative risk posture with a preference toward the higher quality and most liquid part of the fixed-income market. | |
| Thematically, we expect 2023 to see a greater level of divergence across regions with the U.S. economy seemingly better positioned to navigate the turbulences lying ahead while the euro area and the U.K. face greater challenges in terms of real income squeeze and a worse growth/inflation backdrop. | |
| From a credit perspective, we enter the year with a relatively modest overweight to credit markets with a focus on less cyclical sectors, lower beta, and highly liquid names. | |
| In currency space, given the mixed assessment across fundamentals and valuations, we maintain a broadly neutral position in the U.S. dollar at this stage. Our favored theme in currency is centered around a long Japanese position against higher beta currencies that are usually underperformers in a global economic slowdown. | |
