During T3 2019 the outperformance of was mainly due to our country positioning, especially on Italy which contributed positively, as well as our strategy on forward contracts. Over the second quarter of 2020 Italian, Portuguese and Spanish interest rate spreads tightened with tension over sovereign spreads in April.

During 3Q19, the fund posted a positive gross return of 0.36% (0.25% net of fees), outperforming its benchmark by +0.26%, the Bloomberg Barclays Euro Aggregate Corporate 1-3 year.

NATIXIS AM Funds - Ostrum Euro Credit Performance drivers: The fund had a negative performance of -1.47% over 1 year (I/A share class class), underperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Euro Corporate index (-0.42% over the period). The underperformance happened during Q1 2020 due to the consequences of the Covid19 Pandemic. The risk off move was brutal during March 2020 as the markets collapsed in 3 weeks. Bond valuations dropped sharply amid the market dislocation and absent liquidity. The outperformance generated during the Q3 2019, Q4 2019 and Q2 2020 was not enough to compensate the sharp correction in Q1 2020. Q3 2019: Ostrum Euro Credit strategy posted a positive gross performance of +1.52% (+1.37 net of fees), outperforming its benchmark on a gross basis by 0.23%. During the quarter, the credit market widened by 6bps from 63bps to 69bps in spread on average. The decline in rates during this period (-17bps on the 5-year Swap rate) counterbalanced it and contributed to the positive performance of the fund. The outperformance was driven by the sector allocation and the yield curve positioning. Q4 2019: Ostrum Euro Credit strategy posted a negative gross performance of -0.22% (-0.37% net of fees), outperforming its benchmark on a gross basis by 0.29% (0.14% net of fees). During the quarter, the credit market spread tightened by 16bps from 73bps to 57bps on average. However, the rise in rates during this period (+30bps on the 5-year Swap rate) exceeded the tightening in spreads and resulted in a small negative performance for the fund. The outperformance versus the benchmark was mainly driven by the issuer selection for 26bps out of 29bps in total.
