Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| The global economic fundamentals continued to improve steadily with developed markets leading the charge. However, global-bond yields moved in mixed directions given political stressors. | |
| Volatility remained elevated, compared to recent years, due to several geopolitical events and instability in a few emerging markets. | |
| Amid rising U.S. rates, investment-grade corporate bond yields relative to similar-maturity U.S. Treasuries tightened despite the large amount of new issuance this September which was supported by large mergers and acquisitions deals. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| The global economy remains fundamentally strong as it persists through U.S. trade tensions, emerging-market volatility, and eurozone stressors. Corporate fundamentals continue to improve with support from solid U.S. macroeconomic growth. | |
| Political woes globally should likely keep volatility higher over the short-run but we expect the fundamental strength in the global economy and across corporate balance sheets to prevail. | |
| Given our view of rising U.S. rates and high volatility globally, we favor a shorter-duration posture to help mitigate potential price sensitivity. | |
