Fund Commentary - 08/31/2023

MARKET
With the debt ceiling behind us, the U.S. Treasury (“UST”) net bill issuance has ramped to ~$775 billion. The market has absorbed this supply very well so far, easing fears on further declines on bank deposits. Money funds have reallocated from the Fed’s Reverse Repurchase Program (“RRP”) and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) maturities into UST bills, soaking up much of the issuance.
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) moved from 5.09% to 5.31%. The three-month SOFR ended at 5.37%, and the three-month UST bill ended at 5.41%.
July U.S. investment-grade (“IG”) gross supply ended at $73 billion, in-line with estimates for the month (J.P. Morgan). U.S. IG issuance was composed of ~66% financials and ~34% non-financials with ~67% of supply concentrated five years and in. We continue to participate in the primary markets in names with strong fundamentals and a commitment to keeping IG ratings.

OUTLOOK
We continue to participate in corporate credit names with strong fundamentals and in senior tranches of the asset-backed market that offer substantial structural protections in our view. Given the inversion between six to twelve months and uncertainty of the Fed’s path we prefer UST bills six months and in. With the likelihood of the Fed on hold for longer we continue to like corporate and securitized floating-rate notes.
