    € FUND MANAGER'S COMMENT 31/08/2021 FIXEDHKD INCOME AXA WF Asian High Yield Bonds A (H) m HKD Fund manager's report The Asian High Yield Bond Fund’s (or “AHY”) gross return was 2.46%, while JACI HY was 2.07%. Performance was supported by stable carry generated by underlying bonds and spread tightening driven the overall risk-on sentiment in the market. The outperformance was driven by our underweight in weak and highly leveraged single-B property credits. We don’t think the recovery and growth outlook is negated by the Delta – and possibly other – variant(s), but there could be some “air-pockets” in the data and in investor sentiment as a result. And for many, inflation and the prospect of tapering will need to be taken into account in managing portfolios. For monetary policy, now is not the time to tighten yet. Inflation has jumped higher but the ex-post look at price indices is likely to show a one-step jump in the level of prices during the COVID-era rather than a steepening of the price curve (inflation). The Jackson Hole speech from Jay Powell suggested that there are two decisions to make about tapering and rate increases. The tapering decision is based on progress towards the Fed’s economic targets – which there is. This allows some flexibility in terms of the timing and scale of running down asset purchases. For rate hikes, we need to see full employment and clear evidence that inflation is running at the Fed’s target. Those conditions are some way off while the path of GDP expansion has become a little bit more volatile.
