Data as of 30 Apr 2026
In April, data showed that US economic activity continues to be resilient, the labour market has stabilised, and inflation remains elevated. Given a backdrop of above-target inflation and resilient economic activity, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held the federal funds rate at 3.75% for the month. US Treasury yields continued to move higher, with the 2-year yield rising 0.08% to 3.88%, whilst the 10-year yield rose by 0.05% to 4.37%.
Corporate yields over similar-maturity US Treasuries have remained resilient as high overall yields continue to drive demand. The 1- to 5-year maturity spectrum, yields fell 0.09% to 0.61%. As a result, the overall yield on 1- to 5-year corporate bonds remained flat at 4.58%.
Companies issued $184 billion of new corporate bonds in April, bringing year-to-date totals to $830 billion, up 29% year-over-year.
During the month, the Fund continued to selectively participate in the new issue calendar, adding credits across the financials sector, whilst also increasing exposure to securitised assets and high-yield bonds. At the same time, it reduced exposure to relatively expensive credits to sectors within industrials, such as consumer non-cyclicals and technology. Duration remains modestly long relative to the benchmark.
Corporate bonds posted a strong recovery in April, retracing much of the weakness they saw in March. Demand for investment-grade credit remains robust, supported by high all-in corporate yields. Additionally, we have seen a strong start to the first-quarter earnings season, which has increased investor confidence in the outlook for underlying fundamentals. Investors also continue to absorb elevated levels of new corporate bond issuance, including financing tied to the growing capital expenditure needs of large technology companies investing heavily in AI and cloud infrastructure.
Given this constructive market tone, we believe corporate bonds can continue to perform well in the coming quarters, with potential for even stronger performance if the Middle East conflict de-escalates in the near future. However, if the conflict persists, downside risks could emerge as oil prices weigh on the consumer and the inflation outlook. Careful credit selection remains key, as we expect to see greater dispersion across sectors and individual credits going forward.

The Payden USD Low Duration Credit Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade corporate bonds. In an environment of heightened sensitivity to rising interest rates, the Fund invests primarily in short-maturity (1-5 year) bonds and floating-rate notes to limit the impact of interest rate movements whilst still capturing the upside of compressing credit spreads. The Fund employs tactical allocations to emerging-market debt and high-yield bonds as opportunities present themselves, but the focus remains on US investment-grade companies.
