Manager comment
During the month of February, Pharus Target posted a negative performance of -0.37%.
On the interest rate front, we observed a marked widening on both the US and European curves, due to better-than-expected inflation data that are pushing the estimated terminal rate higher. On the credit spread front we observed good overall resilience across all areas of the High Yield world, supported by macro data that continue to show a healthy state of the economy.
Our focus continues to be on the developed markets, Europe and America, where we are identifying interesting opportunities particularly in the world of banking financials and industrials. The fund now has a hedged yield of 7.8% with a duration of 4 and a BB weighted average rating. We will continue to fully hedge currency risk.
