MARKET | |
Over the course of the month, as the U.S. Treasury curve notched higher, we looked to lock-in attractive yields. We maintain an overweight to a diversified mix of credit sectors for income generation. Exposure to credit remains at the lower end of historical positioning in favor of increased portfolio liquidity. | |
February U.S. investment-grade (“IG”) gross supply ended at $152 billion beating estimates of $90-$100 billion (J.P. Morgan). Total gross supply was heavy in the long end of the curve with only 30% of issuance five years and in. IG supply was concentrated in fixed-rate securities and 86% from industrial issuers. We continue to participate in the primary markets in names with strong fundamentals and a commitment to keeping investment-grade ratings. |
OUTLOOK | |
The U.S. debt-ceiling limit was reached in mid-January and the U.S. Treasury has begun extraordinary measures to continue meeting liabilities. Looking ahead, we view the likelihood of a default on marketable debt as minimal. While the U.S. Treasury’s operating cash balances have started to trend lower as they pay out tax refunds and borrowing authority is inhibited, upcoming April tax receipts should provide support. We will look to limit impacts from a potential delay in payments by avoiding U.S. Treasury securities with maturities around the anticipated default date, curtailing exposure to coupon payments in the respective space and avoiding collateral that could be affected. | |
Following upside surprises to key economic indicators such as nonfarm payroll and the consumer price index, the market drastically repriced the probability of cuts in 2023 and terminal rates increased from 5.0% to 5.5%. Given the recent momentum, coupled with bearish sentiment surrounding growth and recessionary fears, we continue to monitor the confluence of factors guiding the Federal Reserve. | |
With the implied path aligning more closely with the Federal Open Market Committee’s projections and a more symmetric balance of risks, we continue to move our duration position toward neutral versus the index, adding incrementally at higher yields with a stronger emphasis on carry. The portfolio maintains ample liquidity and an up-in-quality mix of credit sectors. |
