Market Overview

  • NZ bond markets have performed well over the past months due to moves lower in interest rates.
  • The NZ Yield curve remains steeply positive shaped.
  • Credit margins appear to have stabilised after a strong performance, and supply/demand dynamics remain supportive.

Fund Highlights

  • The move lower in rates remains the key driver of performance with a higher yield continuing to support returns.
