【美國優質債】2022年2月基金評論

市場總覽:

美國市場2月表現疲弱,其中美國公債在本月大部分表現不佳,且2月下半月時,由於市場對美國聯準會收緊政策和俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的預期,風險資產遭到拋售。

美國公債本月表現動蕩;公債最初遭到拋售,並推升殖利率,且儘管公債月底買盤主要集中在長天期公債,然隨著俄烏戰爭期間投資者需求轉向安全資產,殖利率曲線更為平坦。

彭博美國信用指數的利差在2月擴大15個基點至114個基點,目前處於自2020年11月以來的最高水平。該指數2月的總報酬率為-1.89%,因為美國公債的拋售也影響了表現,將年初至今的總報酬率降至-5.11%。

2月,除了一個以外的所有產業皆產生負的超額報酬。天然氣(-219個基點)領跌,而超國家主權債(2個基點)相對表現優於大盤(不包括任何低於指數市場價值 0.50% 的第 3 級產業)。

基金總覽:

本基金在2月份為負報酬,表現遜於基準指數(A 美元)。

基金在綜合能源中的略微減持和選債是相對利差報酬的最大貢獻者,貢獻了7個基點。此外,基金在經紀業務的超額配置和選債是第二貢獻,相對利差報酬增加了3個基點。而本基金在廣告和食品批發是相對利差報酬的最大拖累者,分別減損了3個基點和2個基點。

未來展望:

市場正試圖將地緣政治消息納入戰略展望,但鑑於烏克蘭戰爭及其連鎖反應尚不明朗,我們認為需要不斷重新評估相關風險。人道主義危機可能會挑戰歐洲的經濟成長潛力,我們認為這將影響歐洲央行和全球央行貨幣政策的走向。

鑑於通膨上升以及聯準會啟動升息,我們預計美國市場表現將動盪。

而因為宏觀經濟展望的不確定性,我們認為產業循環和選債對於產生超額報酬仍然至關重要。

隨著評價水準下降,我們在2022年適度地提高了投資組合的風險。我們專注於選債,且對於基礎公司的基本面(槓桿、收益等)持積極態度,並認為風險調整後的部位具有吸引力。
