Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Led by Dish Networks convertible debt rising from 60 to 80 cents following wireless license collateral restructuring. Fund yields 7% near all-time highs while avoiding passive long-duration exposure amid projected massive Treasury supply increases."

Executive Summary

Purpose Credit Opportunities Fund returned 1.8% in September 2024, outperforming passive high-yield exposure. The Fund maintains three credit strategies: high liquidity/cash proxy, high coupon long credit, and alpha bucket for asymmetric returns. Core holding Dish Networks convertible debt benefited from positive developments including bondholders exchanging 2026 bonds for longer-dated instruments with wireless license collateral and agreement to sell satellite TV operations to DirecTV. These catalysts drove Dish bonds from 60 to 80 cents on the dollar. The Fund currently yields around 7%, near all-time highs, benefiting from the higher rate environment. Manager Sandy Liang emphasizes bottom-up security selection over macro forecasting, avoiding passive long-duration exposure given projected massive Treasury supply from U.S. budget deficits. The team focuses on creating favorable risk/reward in individual investments rather than betting on macro themes. High-yield credit spreads remain 100 basis points below historical averages, providing attractive opportunities for active credit selection.
