Commentary

As of 31 May 2026

Market Overview

  • It was a good month for New Zealand bonds with positive returns as interest rates finished the month lower.
  • The NZ yield curve remains steeply positive, with higher yields achieved by extending maturities.
  • New Zealand credit margins have been little changed, with demand strong versus supply.

Fund Highlights

  • The fund return was attributed to a higher income accrual and some capital gain as interest rates finished lower.
  • NZ government bonds performed better than similar swap maturities as the supply story improved. Credit margins were stable and the fund remains high credit quality.
  • Looking forward, the fund is well positioned to deliver strong performance over the medium term, underpinned by carry and roll strategies in a steep, positive yield curve environment.
