In November, Pharus Target posted a performance of -0.16%. During the month, the US 10-year Treasury yield fell by 6 bps to 4.01 percent, while the German 10-year yield rose by 5 bps to 2.69%.
Among the best performers were Kohl’s Corporation, a US retail chain, and GeoPark Ltd, an oil and gas exploration and production company. Alibaba Group was among the weakest contributors.
During the month, we added Nabors Industries to the portfolio, a US company specialising in oil and gas drilling, through a 2031 bond offering a very attractive yield.
We believe the segment is well positioned to benefit from the upcoming monetary easing cycle, supported by a high level of diversification both geographically and across issuer quality
