In July, Pharus Target posted a return of -0.31%. Over the month, government bond yields rose in both the United States and Europe, with a larger move in Europe (10-year Treasury at 4.74%, +28 bps MoM; 10-year Bund at 3.21%, +35 bps).
Credit spreads remain contained, close to the lower end of the three-year range, albeit with divergences between the euro and dollar areas: in euro, tightening across both investment grade and high yield; in dollars, widening in both segments, more markedly so in high yield. Sector contribution was positive in euro from Energy, Consumer Discretionary and Utilities, and negative in dollars from Communication Services and Information Technology.
We maintain a selective approach to the quality-duration mix.
Alibaba and Cerved were among the best performers, while Flos B&B Italia was among the weakest.
The sub-fund remains attractive, supported by a high degree of geographical diversification and by the quality of issuers.
