The calculation of the alpha and beta ratios is made from gross data (and not net) because the application of fees will have the effect of modifying the results displayed in this document. Investment Objective The management objective is to outperform the benchmark, Bloomberg Barclays Euro A g g r e g a t e 1-3 y e a r s o v e r t h e recommended investment term. However, under certain exceptional circumstances and market conditions such as very low interest rate levels, and given that the fund invests exclusively in bonds issued by corporate or public issuers of the Eurozone whose the residual lifespan is mainly limited, the portfolio s yield may be lower than the total fees charged to the fund, either occasionally or on a structural basis. The Bloomberg Barclays Euro Aggregate 1-3 index is composed of fixed-rate bond securities issued in euros with a residual life between 1 year and 3 years, with a minimum rating of BBB- on the Standard & Poor's scale and Baa3 on the Moody's scale (investment grade). This index is calculated in euros with coupons reinvested by Barclays.

5 Fund Manager Commentary Market Bond markets were shaken this month by political uncertainty in Italy and Spain as well as global trade concerns. In Italy, the populist Five Star Movement and League parties agreed to form a new coalition government, ending three months of political deadlock. In Spain, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy finally lost a no-confidence vote and was ousted from office. He will be replaced by a leader of the opposition Socialist party, Pedro Sanchez. Uncertainties remain high regarding political programs in Italy and which measures could be considered as incompatible with EU rules, and investors suspicion should persist. Credit markets came under strong pressure and spreads quickly jumped wider. Financials were generally the main underperformers, as Italian banks led the widening, and the weakness spread to the other peripheral banks quickly. Credit Over the month, thanks to the flight-to-quality move, the widening spreads negative effect was partially compensated by the positive effect of dropping reference yields. The performance of the portfolio was negatively impacted by its overweight exposure on corporate bonds, and its underweight positioning on Eurozone core countries government bonds. The widening move was systemic and all issuers were hit, including those having no activity in peripheral countries. As often in such sharp moves, the liquidity became very low in the secondary market and short term bonds valuations dropped even if only a few transactions really occurred. The short maturity bonds universe remains almost dried up thanks to the ECB asset purchase program and prices should gradually come back to their previous levels when investors worries decline and come back in the markets. Allocation The primary activity market was very light and we only participated in the new 5-year floating rate note (FRN) from BNP. We maintained a close-to 13% portion of FRN in the portfolio. Duration Political uncertainty in Italy led to a widening of the BTP/Bonos spread to levels not seen since Italian 2-and-5-year maturity government yields rose by 120 and 150 basis points respectively, at 1% (+120bp) with a maximum at 2.75%, and 2.15% (+150bp; max. at 3%), while equivalent German yields decreased by 8 and 20bp. Despite the cautious positioning of the portfolio on Italy and Spain, the performance was negatively impacted as short maturity bonds tended to suffer much when the Italian yield curve flattened while moving higher. We however expect short maturity peripheral yields to decrease in the coming weeks when volatility decrease and investors chase for yield again. Outlook We expect Italy to remain the focus of the markets for a while, at least until there is clarity on the new government s policies and their approach towards the EU. But there are other issues as well including new government in Spain and importantly, the US decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium from the EU, Canada and Mexico. All three have announced they will retaliate and we may be at the start of a trade war, which will hardly help credit. In the meantime, it is very likely that the ECB will continue to communicate about the end of quantitative easing, and government yields should return to their rising trend. We expect the markets to keep a very close eye on the upcoming developments.
