"The Optimum Fixed Income Fund outperformed its benchmark in 3Q2025, returning 2.28% vs. 2.03%, driven by successful duration and credit overweights across its Delaware and PIMCO sleeves."
During 3Q2025, the Optimum Fixed Income Fund returned 2.28% (net of fees), outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index return of 2.03%. Both sub-advisor sleeves (Macquarie and PIMCO) outperformed the benchmark. Key contributors to performance included overweight allocations to duration, high-yield corporates, securitized credit, and RMBS, alongside emerging markets currency strategies (Turkish Lira). Detractors included security selection within high-yield corporates, bank loans, and investment-grade corporates. The macroeconomic environment featured strong equity performance with record index highs, falling Treasury yields, dovish Fed policy shifts, and resurfaced US-China trade tensions.
