Yield Select is an index based credit-carry
strategy that aims to benefit from systematically selecting high
spread bonds using stratified sampling techniques.
Leading up to the latest quarter, all Yield Select strategies
applied to the USD IG bond universe significantly outperformed the
benchmark since the market turmoil of March 2020 after which rates
(and rates expectations) were kept very low.
Then, interestingly, during the first quarter of 2021 - as
yields rose and bonds sold off - the partitioned Yield Select
strategies outperformed both the benchmark and the basic
unconstrained Yield Select strategy.
