【新興市場債券】2022年1月基金評論

市場現況:

今年1月份幾乎所有風險資產(包括新興市場債券)皆表現疲弱,因為各國央行的鷹派聲明和不斷上升的通膨數據打擊了投資報酬。受美國公債殖利率上升和信用利差擴大的推動,新興市場主權債券和公司債券的表現均遜於新興市場本幣貨幣債券。

俄羅斯和烏克蘭之間不斷升級的地緣緊張局勢也令市場承壓——兩國在摩根大通新興市場債券全球多元化指數(強勢貨幣主權債指數)中表現最差的國家。本月當地貨幣資產表現較佳(-0.01%),雖然各國表現參差不齊,俄羅斯、東歐和亞洲大部分地區走弱,但智利、巴西、南非和土耳其表現良好。

本基金在一些強勢貨幣債發行國(烏克蘭、洪都拉斯、加納、巴哈馬)的少量增持(相對於基準指數)使本基金在本月的表現低於其基準指數。減持一些表現出色的主權債國家(衣索比亞、黎巴嫩、突尼西亞、土耳其)也使我們績效表現下降。

正面來看,由於歐元兌美元的貶值,減持一些以歐元計價的主權債券(波蘭、羅馬尼亞)對績效表現有所幫助。增持智利披索的曝險也是有利的,本基金在美國債券的減持同樣有利。

儘管風險仍然存在,但我們對這些資產類別的2022年展望持樂觀態度。我們認為,這些資產類別包含大量具有吸引力的新興市場債券,尤其是高收益債券發行人和一些當地貨幣市場債券。我們預計隨著時間的推移,許多新興市場的通膨威脅將會減弱,特別是考慮到某些新興市場國家已經開始縮緊政策,以及一些經濟體(相對於許多發成熟市場經濟體)的閒置產能。我們認為,考慮到目前的地緣衝突,俄羅斯和烏克蘭的債券與貨幣的定價已經開始變得更加合理。雖然我們認為並不會開戰,但顯然該地區的局勢仍然非常緊張。

投組調整:

本月我們的當地貨幣曝險小幅增加,使我們更接近基準指數的中性配置,但整體上相比基準指數仍略微減持。本基金最大的曝險仍然是強勢貨幣主權債。

在當地貨幣市場,基於我們對主權債券的基本面和當地貨幣的正面看法,我們增加了一些格魯吉亞拉里的曝險。在強勢貨幣市場,我們在其長期表現出色後賣出了部分牙買加曝險。由於擔心即將上任的左翼政府宣布一些不利於市場的政策,我們減持了在洪都拉斯的曝險。鑑於近期主權國家的出色表現以及相對於其他撒哈拉以南非洲國家的評價趨弱,我們也減持了盧安達的曝險。在新興市場公司債券中,我們增加了Silknet(格魯吉亞電信公司)、巴西公司債(Globo Media、Banco do Brasil、Ero Copper)。我們減少了對Auna(秘魯醫療保健公司)的投資,並售出了大連萬達(中國購物中心開發商)。
