OnePath WS-Diversified Fixed Interest Fund Commentary July 31, 2023

Rising Sovereign bond yields weighed on bond returns over the quarter as stickier core inflation, resilient labour markets and wages pressure kept central banks on high alert. Overall the trust outperformed over the quarter. There were no manager changes over the quarter.

Global fixed income yields rose in many countries, including the US. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields approached 15-year highs above 4% after U.S. jobs data showed a still tight labor market. The unemployment rate fell lower, labor participation hasn’t risen further, and wages are still growing even after the Fed’s rapid rate hikes. The markets are at an inflection point in which central banks will be forced to keep monetary policy tight to limit inflationary pressures.

Historical Performance Commentary

Performance Commentary - June 30, 2023

Rising Sovereign bond yields weighed on bond returns over the quarter as stickier core inflation, resilient labour markets and wages pressure kept central banks on high alert. Overall the trust outperformed over the quarter. There were no manager changes over the quarter.

Global fixed income yields rose in many countries, including the US. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields approached 15-year highs above 4% after U.S. jobs data showed a still tight labor market. The unemployment rate fell lower, labor participation hasn’t risen further, and wages are still growing even after the Fed’s rapid rate hikes. The markets are at an inflection point in which central banks will be forced to keep monetary policy tight to limit inflationary pressures.

Performance Commentary - April 30, 2023

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in mid-March dwarfed concerns over re-accelerating inflation and prompted a sharp rally in government bonds.

Overall the trust underperformed over the quarter. The main detractors were PGIM and Bentham which underperformed the benchmark over the quarter. Janus Henderson and Western Asset Management contributed positively to performance, performing well above the return of the benchmark. Brandywine also contributed favourably to performance.

Over the year the fund was a strong performer as its diversified portfolio construction, which targets exposure to select fixed income building blocks, added value. Manager alpha has also been positive as the focus on high quality managers has benefited the fund.

Performance Commentary - December 31, 2022

TBentham was a big contributor performing well above the return of the benchmark. Stone Harbour, PGIM and Brandywine also contributed favourably to performance. The quarter saw Central Banks reinforce their resolve to take cash rates higher to fight stubbornly elevated inflation. Australian 10 year bonds ended the quarter 0.15% higher, to close at 4.05%, and the US 10 year bond rose 0.04% to close the quarter at 3.88%.

The fund is maintaining a defensive position to both interest rates and credit. Whilst the fund overall is short duration, the fund has been taking the opportunity to reduce the short as yields have sold off. The fund has also been re-allocating away from short duration benchmark managers to long duration benchmark managers. The fund is also shifting to a more defensive stance on credit. Whilst the fundamentals and technicals for credit are strong, we feel with the economic outlook being uncertain, it is prudent to be more conservative on credit

Performance Commentary - October 31, 2022

The quarter saw Central Banks reinforce their resolve to take cash rates higher to fight stubbornly elevated inflation. Australian 10 year bonds ended the quarter 0.23% higher, to close at 3.89%, and the US 10 year bond rose 0.82% to close the quarter at 3.83%.

Performance Commentary - August 31, 2022

The quarter saw rising interest rates and widening credit spreads as Central Banks aggressively dealt with higher than expected inflation. There were no manager changes over the quarter. The fund underperformed its benchmark by 0.19% for the quarter. The Ardea Diversified Bond Fund was a big contributor due to its focus on high quality alpha sources and its benchmark replication strategy. The Ardea Global Alpha Fund was also a positive contributor to performance as market volatility picked up. Janus Henderson subtracted value due to duration positioning and credit sector positioning. The IOOF Income Trust subtracted value due to credit sector selection. Western Asset Management subtracted value in its global total return strategy due to credit positioning.

Performance Commentary - June 30, 2021

The Fund underperformed its benchmark in the June quarter. The fund is positioned for the reflation trade and as such is underweight duration. Towards the end of the quarter we saw yields rally quite agressively and curves bull flatten as the efficacy of COVID vaccines to the Delta strain was questioned by markets.

  • SMSF Mate is a unique website because it has ideas about how to approach SMSFs, insurance and other financial topics that come straight from first hand experience. It's much more useful than what you find on all the other financial websites that just offer generic info that you could easily get on the ATO's website. It's also nice to know there's no financial incentive behind the information, it's legitimately there to help people understand self-managed super funds and how to get the most out of them, not to get an affiliate commission from a broker or other financial services provider. The investment product information is also incredibly useful, I've never seen this kind of functionality on any other website that let's you look at such a wide range of products, sort by what info is most interesting or important to you, and subscribe to updates for different funds and financial products all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you own or are considering an SMSF!

    David G, Self-Employed, SMSF Owner
  • SMSF Mate provides a unique insight into superannuation and financial topics in a way that is easier to understand than conventional websites. The colloquial nature of the site makes it easy to understand and they often speak about complicated topics in lamens terms so I can wrap my head around them. The investment product information is a great way to research funds that I am interested in investing in with my SMSF and there is a lot of helpful information on the site for better structuring my investment portfolio. In comparison to other websites which offer similar information, SMSF Mate excels as the information is free to access whereas many other sites charge a subscription fee for the same thing. Overall, I think SMSF Mate is a great resource for SMSF trustees and is worth looking at for a variety of super-related topics. Thanks.
