DNB Fund Nordic High Yield

Classe d'actions

Opportunités de crédit dans une région connue pour sa stabilité et sa transparence

Le marché nordique des obligations à haut rendement combine un rendement attractif avec stabilité et diversification des risques. Les pays nordiques ont des économies solides, une faible dette publique et une haute stabilité politique. La Suède, la Norvège et le Danemark ont tous une note de crédit de premier ordre (AAA), et la région a déjà montré une grande résilience lors de crises financières et de pandémies. Cela crée une base robuste pour les investissements dans des obligations d'entreprises nordiques à haut rendement.

Le fonds investit dans des obligations émises par des entreprises en Norvège, en Suède, au Danemark et en Finlande, offrant une large exposition à divers secteurs tels que l'industrie, l'immobilier, la finance et la technologie. Le marché nordique des obligations à haut rendement se distingue par sa grande transparence, sa bonne qualité de crédit et sa faible sensibilité aux taux d'intérêt, car de nombreuses obligations ont un taux d'intérêt variable et une courte durée. Cela réduit les fluctuations de la valeur du fonds lorsque les taux d'intérêt changent. Le résultat est un portefeuille géré activement qui équilibre un rendement attractif avec une volatilité plus faible et une bonne qualité de crédit.

Le DNB Fund Nordic High Yield investit principalement dans des entreprises avec de bonnes bases fondamentales et des flux de trésorerie stables, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur les obligations dans la tranche BB+ à B-. Le fonds préfère les obligations à taux d'intérêt variable et à courte durée, ce qui offre une faible sensibilité aux taux d'intérêt et une duration de portefeuille allant jusqu'à 2 ans.

Principaux domaines d'investissement:
Immobilier avec des flux de trésorerie stables, Transport et logistique, Services financiers diversifiés, Banques et institutions de crédit, État et secteur public, ainsi qu'une exposition sélective à l'industrie et à l'énergie.

This fixed income fund aims to deliver moderate returns on the fund's investments over the medium to long term without taking undue risk. The fund invests in fixed or floating rate debt securities and other debt instruments with minimum ratings of B- or equivalent credit quality at the time of acquisition. The issuers of such debt securities are principally domiciled in the Nordic region, i.e. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland; or, while not domiciled in the Nordic region, carry out the predominant portion of their business activities in the Nordic region; or have their debt securities primarily traded in the Nordic region. The fund is actively managed. Investment decisions are based on long-term fundamental analysis, involving thorough assessment of companies, markets and other market factors that may affect companies' performance.

Commentaires

The Nordic High Yield market was relatively muted in September. Among key drivers were volatile oil prices and rising government rates. The primary market was active at the start of the month, but in early October the primary market seemed more selective. However, the Nordic high yield markets look firm overall, and current default rates are moderate. This month, the portfolio delivered an absolute return of -0.16% in EUR. Year to date, the portfolio has achieved an absolute return of 3.25% measured in EUR. The interest rate risk in the fund is 1.31 years, and the credit duration is estimated to be 2.58 years. Current yield is estimated to be 6.25% measured in EUR. Among other investments, we have invested in Accru Partners. After some widening in the credit spread during the month, Nordic high yield offers good prospects for an attractive return going forward. Nordic High Yield has had an impressive evolvement in the last 10-15 years and attracts Nordic as well as non-Nordic investors. Further it is our impression that the different funds in this market have healthy cash position buffers going forward. As such, we think Nordic High Yield can provide an attractive risk adjusted return going forward.
