Quick Take
"The fund delivered solid Q4 performance amid Fed rate cuts, maintaining a defensive, high-quality posture and warning of late-cycle credit risks while selectively targeting robust data center project lending."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, Thornburg Strategic Income Fund (I share class) delivered a 1.19% return, slightly trailing its benchmark. U.S. fixed income markets closed the year strong, supported by Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and disinflation, despite labor market softening and a brief government shutdown. The portfolio maintained a cautious, high-quality, and longer-duration bias due to tight credit spreads and late-cycle risks, including light covenants and bankruptcies. While cautious on the broader AI and data center sectors, the managers are successfully capitalizing on highly structured project finance opportunities within data centers backed by investment-grade leases.
