Manager

Vittorio Amedei

The Fund invests through a proprietary strategy which, starting with the composition of the standard market index, determines the geographical and currency allocation of the portfolio through a quantitative model that allows the efficient unification of the three determining factors of the bond dynamics: carry, duration and rating. The Fund is denominated in euros and does not hedge the exchange rate risk. The portfolio is managed using a quantitative model, in order to dynamically manage duration, yield to maturity, distribution by country and maturity through a reduced number of securities, and deviations from the benchmark in terms of weight, while keeping the number of transactions, transaction costs and the tracking error of the Fund under control. The model portfolio is obtained using the stratified sampling technique and by carrying out rebalancing transactions promptly and efficiently. The Fund invests mainly in international government bonds.


PERFORMANCE
NET OF FEES
(CLASSIC B)

In February, the fund recorded a positive return of 1.25%, in line with the trend of the global bond market, supported by interest rate dynamics, partially offset by currency movements.
The management model’s alpha was slightly negative during the month; the main drivers were the relative positioning on the U.S. and German yield curves, counterbalanced by the positive contribution from the positioning on the Chinese curve.
The fund’s duration is nearly 6.8 years, slightly lower than the market benchmark, with an overweight position in the Euro area and a neutral stance in the United States. The yield to maturity is 3.45%.
Regarding allocation, Euro area countries are overweight, while the United States, Japan, and China are neutral. The Netherlands and Finland are underweight. Currency exposure is limited. The fund was rebalanced at the beginning of the month.
