【收益優化】2022年2月基金評論

市場現況:

2月,市場狀況正考驗投資人的信心——由於俄羅斯在這個月底入侵烏克蘭使通膨和利率上升,導致多個資產類別出現拋售。正如預期,俄羅斯股票和債券的價值隨著美國和其他國家實施嚴厲制裁急劇下降。俄羅斯盧布兌美元匯率下跌 26%,成為本月表現最差的貨幣。

另一方面,石油和能源相關資產上漲,黃金和白銀等避險資產價格也持續上升。政府債券又度過一個表現落後的月份,因通膨預期上升以及央行普遍認為貨幣政策收緊將加速導致殖利率上升。在政府公債中,英國公債月報酬率為-1.4%,美國公債報酬率為 -0.8%,德國公債報酬率為 -1.2%。且公司債券同樣經歷了表現不佳,美國、歐洲和英國公司債區塊都呈現負報酬。

由於本月稍早的地緣政治因素和央行升息言論,股市也表現不佳。也有一些例外情況包括巴西股市。

俄烏衝突導致政府債券殖利率(因更高的通膨預期)和信用利差(由於更高的風險性)上升。本基金在本月也因此產生負報酬。

與基準指數相比,低於平均的存續期提升了相對績效,而更高的債券配置則拖累績效。金融債券部位拖累了基金表現,而我們對於新興市場的減持貢獻正報酬。此外,我們持續投資景氣循環性和價值股在本月表現平穩,今年迄今仍取得正報酬。

投組調整:

在市場波動的時期,我們增加了基金的存續期間——自1月的 2.4 年延長至目前約3.3年。並通過衍生性商品減少了一些投資級債券部位。我們的長期看法是,2022 年利率仍會上升,但由於地緣政治風險增加,利率上升的速度將會減緩,因此我們認為將增持一些短天期債券。

債券方面,我們正試圖評估歐洲相關債券的價值是否因波動性增加產生變化。這意味著可以透過信用違約交換將一些歐洲投資級債轉換為高收益部位,增加價格波動度。因此,高收益部位現在約佔基金規模的 25-26%。而股票部位方面,由於我們仍注重存續期間和信用利差等要素,股票部位維持較低,約佔基金規模 5% 左右,並且已經持續了幾個月。

本月我們的政府公債部位活動有限,儘管本基金約有25% 投資於無風險資產(政府公債 + 現金)。我們相信這些部位可能在這個市場動盪的時期提供支持。最後,我們要補充一點,本基金沒有直接投資俄羅斯和烏克蘭,且對新興市場的曝顯比例較低。
