Strategy

Investment objective and policy

The fund invests mainly in fixed income, variable income and convertible bonds denominated in euro or issued by top-quality issuers in the euro zone. Its key objective is to achieve a regular income.

Management report - 2d Quarter 2019

Eurozone sovereign bond prices rose during the second quarter. The JPMorgan GBI EMU Bond index posted positive performance of +3.41%. Periphery country bonds rose by 4.47% while the sub-index for the core eurozone countries (excluding periphery debt) gained 2.68% over the quarter. The Germany 10-year bond yield was down from -0.07% to -0.327% over the period. The ECB is keeping its interest rates unchanged. Having announced a hike in interest rates last quarter, the ECB has further delayed this rise to June 2020. Its growth forecasts have not been fundamentally called into question. It has however defined the modalities of its new giant loan programme to banks that was announced last quarter (TLTRO III). Eurozone inflation remains low at 1.2% and the unemployment rate has stabilised at around 7.5%. In common with the rest of the global economy, the eurozone is suffering from a number of political uncertainties including the US-China trade war, and concerns over Brexit and Italy. We think that the context will remain favourable for European bond markets given its relatively stable growth and lack of inflationary pressures.
