【新興市場債券】2021年8月基金評論

市場現況:

受到全球經濟持續復甦、總觀經濟數據表現良好以及美國聯準會主席鮑威爾一定程度的鴿派言論支持(儘管正近一步接近美國即將開始縮減債券的時間點),新興市場債在8月份獲得正報酬。

三個主要資產類別組成部分(強勢貨幣和本幣主權以及強勢貨幣公司債券)在本月獲得正報酬。受益於利差收窄,強勢貨幣主權表現小幅勝過市場,儘管存續時間造成小幅負面影響。高收益債發行人的表現優於投資級債發行人。儘管總體上新興市場貨幣表現好壞參半,本地債券仍受益於表現略微疲軟的美元。

本月基金表現大致與基準指數持平。本基金受益於加碼高收益債,特別是來自阿根廷的部位,包括最終完成債務重組的布宜諾斯艾利斯。尚比亞政府債券在該國出現對市場有利的選舉結果後上漲 20%。

另一方面,本基金一些較小且陷入困境的發行人在本月的表現優於市場(突尼西亞、黎巴嫩和蘇利南)。本地市場的表現貢獻不一:本基金減碼新興歐洲市場市場有助於相對報酬(貨幣和利率均遜於市場),但因美國聯準會主席鮑威爾的鴿派言論,美元表現疲軟,而本基金對部分亞洲市場的投資減碼(特別是泰銖和馬來西亞令吉) 也受到影響。美國南部的新冠疫情確診數達到高峰,對比東南亞疫情的改善趨勢也是額外因素之一。最後,基金加碼秘魯的風險拖累了基金表現,由於該國中央銀行在貨幣政策收緊方面落後於市場。

投組調整:

本月基金倉位未發生重大變化。新債發行的表現在夏季變動不大,但我們期待市場在接下來的幾週內將變得非常活躍。

我們藉此機會出清持有的盧安達主權債券,且支持巴拿馬城機場(托庫門國際機場)的發行,因前者能夠利用良性的市場條件,以較低的利率籌集新的發行。

由於本月部分新興市場主權債券收益率曲線趨陡,我們進行了一些哥斯達黎加和巴拿馬長期債券的相對價值交易。

我們越來越警惕高收益債的風險(BB和越來越多的B信用評等),並將尋求逐步降低風險。
