primeimages/iStock via Getty Images Key takeaways 1 Potential to lock in yields Bond yields, though down from their highs, are still at attractive levels compared to the last 10 years, in our view. Investors can lock in these yields for years to come by investing in high-grade bonds before interest rates come down further. 2 Cautious positioning amid volatility Rising market and macroeconomic volatility has led us to reduce the fund's risk positioning as we choose to be more cautious as uncertainty unfolds. 3 More opportunities for investors Earnings growth, stable credit fundamentals, record issuance and improved valuations due to wider yield spreads among US investment grade bonds could create more attractive buying opportunities, potentially benefiting tactical and sophisticated credit investors. Investment objective The fund seeks total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. Fund facts Fund AUM ($M) 5,119.92 Click to enlarge Portfolio managers Michael Hyman, Chuck Burge, Matthew Brill, Todd Schomberg Manager perspective and outlook Market sentiment appeared mixed during the quarter: the period began with a positive outlook for global economic growth but escalating geopolitical conflict in the Middle East seemingly led investors to lower their risk appetites. Disruption of oil and energy supplies from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has pressured markets, raising inflation risks globally and steering central banks toward more cautious paths. Prolonged energy supply disruptions could weigh on growth. Current geopolitical tensions, sticky inflation and mixed labor data led the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to hold the federal funds rate steady during the quarter, with a target range of 3.50-3.75%. However, amid elevated uncertainty, the market's probability of a Fed rate increase by the end of 2026 has risen to over 50%. Credit spreads – the yield difference between Treasuries and US investment grade bonds – widened toward the end of the perio...

A "Rubbish, Knee-Jerk Reaction": UK Treasury Pushes Food Price Caps As Inflation Re-Accelerates UK supermarkets are being urged by the government to limit food prices in return for easing regulations. As first reported by The Financial Times , the price caps are 'voluntary' and would apply to key groceries – such as eggs, bread, and milk - according to retail industry sources with knowledge of the plans. In return, the government has said it would offer “incentives” to the supermarkets , which the people said could include easing packaging policies and potentially delaying costly changes to rules around healthy food. As one may well expect, supermarkets are understood to be strongly opposed to the plans . The Treasury has declined to comment. The proposals come as Sir Keir Starmer’s government is battling to address public concern over the cost of living. Scottish retailers recently condemned a similar policy by the Scottish National Party as a “1970s-style” gimmick . One person close to a supermarket said the Treasury’s initiative was “a rubbish, knee-jerk reaction to the SNP”. UK food inflation rose to 3.7 per cent in April , and the foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, has warned the world is “sleepwalking into a global food crisis”, with the Middle East war throttling supply chains. And in line with the magical thinking, the Treasury has also told supermarkets that it would like guarantees that British farmers would not lose income from shop price caps . Former Brexit minister Lord Frost weighed in on social media platform X, calling the proposal "remarkable (and remarkably bad) if true. "There are certainly plenty of people in this govt whose understanding of economics is so poor that they might consider it a good idea." SNP leader John Swinney has defended his party's approach, arguing he faces a "public health responsibility" to ensure affordable nutrition for people "struggling to afford a very basic shop." “It is a completely ill-thought-out, last-minute idea ...

Uefa’s head of women’s football has said rules prohibiting clubs with the same owner from playing together in the Women’s Champions League will be strictly enforced, dealing a blow to investors such as Michele Kang. Kang owns one of Saturday’s Women’s Champions League finalists, OL Lyonnes, and London City Lionesses, who have big ambitions and whose head coach, Eder Maestre, last week stated their desire to compete for the Women’s Super League title next season. Workarounds have been found in men’s European competitions but Nadine Kessler said no exceptions would be made in the women’s game, despite the growing number of multi-club ownership groups. “There is an evolution of multi-club owners in women’s football and they invest a lot into the game, which is important,” Kessler, Uefa’s women’s football director, said. “But at the same time, when it comes to playing in one football competition, there will be no different approach and no exceptions when it comes to the women’s game, and this is being closely monitored.” Kang, who also owns the US side Washington Spirit, is not alone in operating multiple strong clubs in Europe. Crux Sports, founded by the former New Zealand captain Bex Smith, owns the record 14-time Swedish champions Rosengård, who have been Champions League quarter-finalists six times since 2012, and Montpellier, who were Champions League quarter-finalists in 2018 and European semi-finalists in 2006. Another multi-club group with more than one top-flight European team is Mercury13, which owns the Serie A club FC Como Women, the Spanish top-flight side FC Badalona Women and the WSL2 club Bristol City. Kessler said: “Why would we want to preserve the sporting integrity of men’s football, but not of women’s football? It’s out of [the] question. I think in any sport, you want to preserve sporting integrity. That’s the most important thing. “We all [try to] think of smart ways of doing this, we all think of smart ways of sharing resources and other things,...

This reflects the cost of storage, insurance, and cash tied up in holding it. However, in practice, oil futures often trade in backwardation (as in the chart), whereby nearer-term prices are higher than longer-term prices. This is possibly due to a concerted preference to avoid the risk of a future price rise due to OPEC action or geopolitical factors by having oil to hand in the near term. Backwardation also occurs when a scarcity of near-term supply stresses the oil market, but it is expected to normalize over time. That's pretty much what the chart says. You could think of it as the market signaling it's pricing in a near-term supply constraint that will normalize over time. There are two things in the chart that imply that futures contracts are shown as being higher in early April than in mid-May: Both sets of data show backwardation with lower prices in the future. Note that the spread between the May and April series data is much larger earlier (for example, in June, July, and August 2026) than it is later (for example, in May, June, and July 2027); this implies the increase in the spot price of oil between April and May is being absorbed by the front end of the curve. All told, the oil futures market is still implying that th...

ablokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images British retailers are pushing back against a government proposal to introduce voluntary price caps on essential groceries, with Marks & Spencer chief executive Stuart Machin calling the idea “completely preposterous,” according to the Financial Times. The proposal, first reported by the FT, would see supermarkets agree to cap prices on staples such as bread, milk, and eggs as the government attempts to address mounting cost-of-living concerns amid rising energy prices and inflationary pressures. Machin said the government should focus on reducing costs imposed on businesses rather than intervening directly in pricing decisions. “I don’t think the government should be trying to run business,” he said, according to the FT. The comments add to growing tensions between U.K. retailers and Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government, which has faced criticism from businesses over higher taxes, national insurance contributions, and packaging-related costs. According to the FT, the government is considering offering incentives to supermarkets in exchange for participating in the program, including potential regulatory relief on packaging requirements. Machin argued that retailers were already absorbing costs on some essential goods and warned that additional policy burdens risked worsening inflation rather than easing it. The remarks came as M&S reported a rebound in earnings despite taking a nearly £300 million hit linked partly to last year’s cyberattack. The retailer also said it plans to continue expanding its food business and online operations, according to the FT.
