"The fund achieved a solid 2.28% return in Q3 2025 by capitalizing on tightening credit spreads in structured products and high-yield credit, while dynamically adjusting its yield curve positioning in response to the Fed's rate cuts."
For the third quarter of 2025, the Strategic Income Opportunities Fund posted a return of 2.28% (Institutional shares). Key contributors to performance included structured products, European credit, and U.S. high-yield credit, with no notable detractors. The portfolio management team increased overall duration but maintained concentrated exposure in the 0-5-year portion of the yield curve. Concurrently, the fund trimmed 0-2-year front-end exposure, selectively rotated out of the long end, and reduced positions in agency MBS and U.S. investment-grade credit. The fund continues to favor high-quality securitized products, high-yield credit, and emerging market debt, while remaining cautious on lower-quality credit segments.
