Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Performances are net of fees (excluding possible entrance fees charged by the distributor). The return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations, for the shares which are not currency-hedged. The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) 2019/2088 is a European regulation that requires asset managers to classify their funds as either 'Article 8' funds, which promote environmental and social characteristics, 'Article 9' funds, which make sustainable investments with measurable objectives, or 'Article 6' funds, which do not necessarily have a sustainability objective.

The US Federal Reserve delivered a more dovish message than expected at its September meeting, cutting its key rate by -0.5%.- Growth data nevertheless exceeded expectations across the Atlantic, both in terms of unemployment, which declined to 4.2%, and consumer resilience, with retail sales accelerating by +0.1%.- Headline inflation continued to slow to +2.5% year-on-year on the back of falling commodity prices, while core inflation remained stable at +3.2%.- For its part, the European Central Bank cut its key rate by -25bp against a backdrop of disappointing economic data, both in terms of leading indicators and the zone's future growth prospects.- Among other central banks, the Bank of Japan opted for a pause in its rate hike cycle, while the Brazilian central bank raised its key rate by a quarter point.
Performance commentary
The Fund delivered a positive performance over the month of September in an environment marked by a strong easing in interest rates.- Our carry strategies were the strongest contributors to the Fund's performance, benefiting from high structural yields but also from investors' strong appetite for risk during the observation period.- Our preference for short rates was favourable as yield curves steepened. We also increased our exposure to the short end of the Brazilian yield curve after the central bank meeting.- We made several arbitrages during the month, increasing our exposure to the short end of the US yield curve ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, then reducing the portfolio's core duration in the easing movement that followed.
Outlook strategy
We remain in line with a soft landing scenario across the Atlantic, where the US consumer continues to show resilience as we enter a cycle of easing financial conditions.- The market is now expecting a sequence of significant rate cuts, while the yield curve is still underestimating the fiscal indiscipline of economic agents.- Inflation is slowing down, in line with expectations. Nevertheless, the market seems over-optimistic about the normalization of inflation over the next few quarters.- Having said that, we are maintaining a cautious stance on the portfolio's interest-rate sensitivity, while implementing a yield-curve steepening strategy and a marked appetite for inflation products.
