Portfolio manager review
The fund performed in line with the benchmark in April. Both country allocation and instrument selection added marginally to performance, while interest rate duration effect detracted. In country selection, our lack of exposure to Lebanon and underweight in El Salvador added to performance. Overweights in Iraq and Venezuela, on the other hand, detracted from performance. In instrument selection, our off-benchmark selections in Argentina added the most to performance. To a lesser extent, our selections in Lithuania, Iraq, Turkey and Indonesia also added to performance. Selections in the Philippines, Brazil and Russia, however, detracted from performance. We increased our overall spread duration towards neutral after the BoJ announcement. Furthermore we reduced somewhat our corporate exposure. In country positioning we reduced our overweight in Venezuela, following the election due to political uncertainty and deteriorating economic fundamentals. We changed positioning towards the shorter duration bonds from the high cash price bonds. We participated in several new sovereign issues like Panama, Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, which were priced attractively. We also participated in the debut new issue of Rwanda, as we like the country's improving trend in both economic fundamentals and institutional framework. We reduced our underweight in China via oil/gas/chemical corporate new issues. Lastly we reduced slightly our Russian exposure whilst increasing our Kazmunaigaz exposure via a new issue.
