【新興市場債券】2021年1月基金評論

市場現況:

由於本月拜登總統的民主黨控制了國會,美國公債和其他核心政府債券遭到拋售,這引發了人們對美國經濟財政支出增加的預期。美國公債殖利率曲線陡峭和美元上漲都損害了新興市場本月的表現。

儘管在一月份新發行的債券數量很高,但強勢貨幣新興市場債券的利差還是有所收緊,這凸顯了對此資產類別的需求仍然很高。但是,這不足以彌補存續期間造成的損失。新興市場公司債券得益於其較短的天期,是一月份表現最好的部分。

基金在本月的績效為負,大致符合其基準。基金沒有投資市場上表現最差的高收益債,包括黎巴嫩,貝里斯和衣索比亞。厄瓜多(在1月份進行選舉且表現最差)基金持有的部位則與基準指數相當。

市場上有許多的投資級債發行人,我們繼續青睞殖利率較高的債券。投資級債的估值將持續收斂收斂,我們會選擇性的增加當地貨幣曝險。然而,有鑑於利差持續收斂,我們也密切關注部分高收益債市場的估值。

投組調整:

資金配置沒有重大變化。我們逐步增加對當地貨幣債券的曝險,現在比基準指數高出2%。

這是有史以來最繁忙的一月份,債券市場在本月發行了超過1250億美元。我們仍然保持紀律並且僅參與幾筆初級市場發行,我們認為與次級市場相比較更具有投資價值。

我們投資了一些不經常發行的主權債券,包括貝南和亞美尼亞,以及一些我們認為具有吸引力的拉丁美洲公司,其中包括智利電信運營商WOM、巴西的BTG銀行;瓜地馬拉的Banco Industrial和擁有多家運輸業務的巴西控股公司SIMPAR 。

因土耳其央行決定在12月提高利率,以及我們預期該國在短期內將維持貨幣政策,我們將土耳其當地貨幣債的權重調整為小幅高於指數。我們還增加了哈薩克政府債券的部位,並增加了少量中國地方政府債券的持有量(中國的基準比重已超過3%,不可忽略不計)。在拋售美國公債後,我們取得了良好的表現,之後我們降低了在墨西哥當地貨幣政府債券的部位(但整體曝險保持不變)。
