Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Purpose Credit Opportunities Fund targets corporate credit with mid-7% internal yield near 10-year highs. Manager adds to mortgage underwriting and commercial real estate debt, viewing credit as attractively valued versus equities."

Executive Summary

Sandy Liang's Purpose Credit Opportunities Fund focuses on corporate credit opportunities in a macro environment characterized by slower U.S. economic growth, moderating inflation, and changing Fed expectations. The fund maintains that corporate credit offers favorable value relative to equities when comparing yield and earnings yield, with high-yield corporate credit providing healthy yield above projected inflation over the next ten years. The team has recently added positions in U.S. mortgage underwriting, where home purchase volume remains at mid-1990s lows, and commercial mortgage REITs, viewing negative real estate news as fully discounted. The fund's internal yield sits in the mid-7% area, near its 10-year high, driven by higher interest rates and liquidity positioning. While acknowledging that supportive factors like massive budget deficits and elevated money supply may not persist, the manager sees current credit markets as offering attractive risk-adjusted returns. The fund returned 10.2% over the past 12 months, outperforming high-yield benchmarks.
