【新興市場債券】2022年2月基金評論

市場現況:

經過數月的邊境緊張局勢,二月俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭導致新興市場債和其他風險性資產遭到大規模拋售。俄羅斯、烏克蘭和白俄羅斯的債券價值縮水 60% 至 80%。俄羅斯(包括其中央銀行)和許多公司不得不在月底承擔大量報復性國際制裁,進一步加劇投資人對資產信心急劇喪失。

新興債市的所有板塊在本月均呈現負報酬。美元主權債是市場表現最差的領域,而拉丁美洲和亞洲等地區的市場連結性較低也意味著相比而言,當地貨幣資產相對具有彈性。在公司債板塊中,新興歐洲債市發行人由於較易受到俄羅斯經濟狀況影響而表現不佳。

本基金持有的一些俄羅斯和烏克蘭資產部位拖累績效表現。這些受影響的資產流動性降低意味著交易它們的難度將增加。但我們仍將繼續密切審查所有基金部位並根據具體情況作出調整。

由於俄羅斯是最大的能源出口國之一,俄烏衝突導致本月石油和天然氣市場價格大幅上揚。儘管這將有利於出口石油的新興市場國家,但對一些依賴能源的國家來說,則是增加了額外的成本。俄羅斯和烏克蘭是許多食品出口商的集散地,因此也需要密切關注通膨帶來的影響,尤其是在在許多新興市場國家,食品和能源是造成通膨的重要因素。

顯然,實際情況非常不穩定,我們必須承認,高風險將廣泛的影響更多資產類別,並有可能影響全球經濟成長。許多新興市場債的信用利差和貨幣開始反映增加的風險使評價降低。在我們看來,距歐洲較遠或者受益於歐洲國家能源和大宗商品價格上漲的地區值得逢低布局。

投組調整:

鑑於部分資產的風險日益增加,我們在本月底嘗試提高基金流動性。在本地貨幣債市,我們趁勢獲利了結了埃及債券的部位並減少了塞爾維亞債券的部位。儘管有這些動作,我們在本月略微增加了對當地貨幣債券的部位。此外,我們會透過減持巴基斯坦主權債,減少對強勢貨幣資產的曝險。

而相對於基準指數外的部位,我們用新加坡幣和美元取代了一些日圓的無風險部位,整體策略上變得更加保守穩健。值得注意的是,儘管日圓具有避險貨幣的吸引力,但其在本月仍面臨回落。
