Monthly Fund Manager's Commentary
The development of the bond market has to be attributed again to the unsolved European debt difficulties. Particularly the increasing demand of an easing of the reorganization efforts of the public authorities especially of some Mediterranean countries, forced confidence declines. EZB president Mario Draghi pleads for a "Growth Compact", in addition to the passed European "Fiscal Compact". A financial concept of the Growth Compact was not presented. For this reason the spreads for Spanish and Italian bonds compared to German reached the highest level since January. Spain and Italy have to pay 6% for ten-year bonds. In March the EZB helped them with the purchase of bonds in height of 20 billion Euros respectively 24 billion Euro. The German current yield declined by 9.3% to 1.28%. By the end of April ten-year government bonds recorded by 1.52%. Owing to the renewed Greece governmental crisis a second payment default becomes likely again. The yield of US bonds decreased due to the poor economic growth rate. Apart from the Italian commitment of the previous months, the fund management invests particularly into countries with an excellent credit standing. Mainly focused are selected corporate bonds. Low yield bonds have been successively reduced. The fund management sticks to its defensive strategy with short-term, good credit worthiness and a high weighting into corporate bonds.
