"The Optimum Fixed Income Fund matched its benchmark in 4Q25 with a 1.07% return, as strong interest rate and MBS positioning within the PIMCO sleeve offset corporate selection and inflation-hedging drag in the Nomura sleeve."
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Optimum Fixed Income Fund (OIFIX) performed in line with the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, returning 1.07% (net of fees) versus the index's 1.10%. The Nomura sleeve (formerly Macquarie Diversified Income) underperformed the index due to security selection in investment-grade corporates and Treasurys, alongside declining inflation expectations that detracted from inflation-related strategies. This underperformance was offset by positive contributions from overweight holdings in high yield, emerging markets, CMBS, and duration positioning. Conversely, the PIMCO-managed sleeve outperformed the index, driven by underweight exposure to the long end of the steepening yield curve and an overweight position in agency MBS.
