"Purpose Credit Opportunities Fund capitalizes on credit market dislocations, with high-yield spreads widening to 463bp over Treasuries creating equity-like return opportunities. Key holdings include Hudson Pacific Properties bonds at mid-teens yield and Enbridge preferred equity at 8% IRR."
The Purpose Credit Opportunities Fund returned -0.8% in March 2025 amid significant market volatility driven by the Trump administration's trade policy announcements. The fund's core thesis centers on capitalizing on credit market dislocations, with single-B-rated high-yield corporate debt yields rising to 8.7% and spreads widening to 463 basis points over Treasuries. Key positioning includes Hudson Pacific Properties bonds at mid-teens yield, benefiting from successful CMBS issuance and lease-up momentum, and Enbridge preferred equity providing 8% IRR with double-digit bond equivalent yield on a tax-adjusted basis. The team maintains lower risk deployment than in prior years while selectively adding to conviction positions. Despite trade policy uncertainty creating near-term volatility, the manager expects policies will normalize and does not anticipate a deep recession. The fund's investment process focuses on continuous screening through market dislocations, with the team's best performance historically occurring post-dislocation periods. Current internal yield sits in the mid-7% area.

Algorithmic conviction, macroeconomic posture, and risk appetite signals extracted from this quarterly letter with qualitative explanations.
Market Conviction
High conviction demonstrated through specific position sizing in HPP and Enbridge, detailed analysis of credit spreads and yields, and clear investment thesis around post-dislocation opportunities. Strong conviction in individual holdings despite market uncertainty.
Growth Outlook
The manager acknowledges significant market volatility and increased recession probability but maintains that trade policies will normalize and a deep recession is not the base case. Mixed signals with some optimism about policy moderation offset by near-term uncertainty.
Risk Appetite
The fund's risk level is currently lower than in 2024 and 2023, with higher cash positioning and selective deployment. However, the team is still adding to conviction positions like HPP and Enbridge, indicating cautious but not defensive positioning.
Capital Deployment
The fund maintains lower risk deployment than in prior years and higher cash positioning, indicating net de-risking. However, selective additions to conviction positions like Enbridge preferred equity prevent a more negative score.
Forward Guidance
The manager expresses confidence that trade policies will be negotiated to normalized levels and shows willingness to add to conviction positions. Slight positive bias toward selective deployment despite maintaining lower overall risk levels.
Language Signal
Language emphasizes opportunities in high-yield debt with equity-like returns, favorable risk/reward in specific holdings, and positive developments. Terms like opportunity, favorable, and conviction outweigh risk-related language.
Perceived Risk
Manager explicitly discusses multiple risk factors including Treasury volatility, policy uncertainty, recession probability, and cascading effects across asset classes. Moderate to high risk perception with specific identification of systemic concerns.
Opportunity Density
Manager sees significant opportunities in high-yield corporate debt with equity-like returns, specific opportunities in HPP bonds at mid-teens yield, and attractive yields in Enbridge preferred equity. Good opportunity set despite selective approach.
Time Horizon
Investment approach focuses on post-dislocation opportunities with medium-term catalysts like lease-up momentum for HPP and natural gas demand growth for Enbridge. Balanced between near-term volatility management and medium-term positioning.
