(A) An overall rating is based on a weighted average of the fund’s ratings for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, if applicable. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating (based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a funds monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance.

MARKET | |
In August, both inflation and the labor markets continued to make progress toward the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed’s”) near-term goals: a general cooling in the labor market and 2% target inflation. The markets, on the other hand, seemed focused on technical factors such as additional U.S. Treasury supply and the perils of deficit financing. The yield curve steepened in response with maturities under 5 years little changed and yields on longer maturities increasing. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury reached 4.3%, breaking through the previous high yields of the current cycle reached in Q4 2022. With this backdrop, shorter fixed-income strategies saw positive performance for the month and pushed year-to-date performance further into positive territory. | |
Globally, the European Union faces a mixed picture of cooling but still-too-high inflation and an economy less resilient than the U.S. China shows clear signs of a slowdown with severe issues in their property markets exacerbating a massive buildup in their debt markets over the last decade. |
OUTLOOK | |
For the remainder of the year, we expect the market to return focus to fundamental economic data and the anticipation of the Fed’s reaction function as it relates to incremental monetary policy decisions. With recent data suggesting an economy that remains resilient, we see a higher probability of the soft-landing scenario and expect the Fed to keep rates in restrictive territory for longer than the market is currently expecting. Meanwhile, we continue to expect unforeseen spurts of volatility as both the Fed and the market react to incoming data. We maintain a duration positioning close to neutral, favoring a higher quality credit positioning and an elevated level of liquidity. |
