"The Easterly Income Opportunities Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q4 2025, returning 1.93% net. The fund is actively rotating assets from CMBS into RMBS and high-multiple structured notes to position for continued interest rate curve steepening."
The Easterly Income Opportunities Fund (Class I, JSVIX) delivered a net return of 1.93% for Q4 2025, outperforming its benchmark by 83 basis points. Despite higher tariff rates and historic levels of consumer debt reaching $18.6 trillion, the broader U.S. economy displayed strong resilience, with Q3 GDP growing at 4.3% annualized. To navigate uneven consumer health and commercial real estate headwinds, the fund's managers are actively increasing credit quality and liquidity by shifting 2% of capital from CMBS to RMBS. The fund remains highly constructive on structured notes and interest rate curve steepeners, which are poised to benefit from projected Fed rate cuts and debt-fueled fiscal expansion under the 'Big Beautiful Bill' in 2026.
