The risk indicators are calculated using returns of the funds, the returns of the fund’s market index or a combination of both, for the previous five years. Index returns or a mix are used if the fund has existed for less than five years. All Managers are required to use the same methodology so you can compare the risk of different funds if you are researching more than one manager.

Commentary

As of 31 May 2026

Market Overview

  • Fixed income markets generally delivered positive returns in May as ceasefire negotiations in the war in Iran aided a rally in risk assets and a modest decline in volatility.
  • The continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the downstream impacts to energy prices continued to cause a move higher in forward looking inflation expectations, pressuring interest rates higher.
  • Risk assets outperformed Treasuries on an excess return basis with spread continuing to tighten on war-ending optimism and AI boost.

Fund Highlights

  • The portfolio outperformed the benchmark in May.
  • Outperformance was driven by the country, duration, sector allocation and agency MBS selection strategy.
