19. Annex EDM Ahorro
Investment strategy and philosophy
EDM Ahorro invests in short and medium-term government and corporate euro-denominated bonds (mainly from
European issuers). In the past the fund held a very significant position in government bonds, but more recently has
invested mostly in stable and high-quality corporate bonds. Over the last year and a half the weighting of government
bonds has grown, reaching up to 25% on occasions.
This is a highly conservative fund that seeks stable yields with no surprises, generated chiefly via coupon rates. The bond
term is typically between 1 and 2 years (currently standing at 1.72 years). Interest risk is therefore confined. Bond
durations are typically short, although they have stretched to 2.5 years on occasions.
The fund invests in high-quality bonds, although there have been exceptions of investments in lower quality bonds.
Nearly 100% of the portfolio is “investment grade”, including BBB exposure of close to 45%. The portfolio has
practically no illiquid securities, no currency risk and does not use derivatives.
Fund background
Early in the 2000s, when there was a very flat debt curve but attractive interest rates (4.5% 2Y Spanish rate), the EDM
Ahorro portfolio had a short term. As there was little carry, no risk was assumed. The portfolio’s short duration meant
that we did not benefit from the sharp decline in interest rates seen in 2002-2003. During these years credit had a
greater weighting in the portfolio than debt.
19
20. Annex EDM Ahorro
From early 2003 until late 2005, Spanish and other euro country sovereign bond yields were at record lows with flat
yield curves. The particular sensitivity of long tranches with low interest rates led us to adopt a highly cautious
approach to the yield curve, keeping the portfolio term very short. Meanwhile, credit spreads tightened to record
lows in 2003 and then held stable until mid-2007. Due to this very low-risk premium, between 2004 and 2006 we gave
a greater weighting to public debt, reaching 65% of the fund.
In 2006, amid a sharp spike in debt interest rates, the fund’s short duration led to good results. At the time numerous
structured credit issuances were being made, such as CDOs (Collateralised Debt Obligations) and CDO-squared (CDOs
of CDOs). Investors were driven towards profitable instruments such as CDOs thanks to very low debt interest rates
and credit spreads. At EDM Asset Management, we invest only in assets that we fully understand. Therefore we
opted not to invest in these instruments, which, initially appeared attractive. When the sub-prime crisis hit, most of
these instruments suffered enormous losses.
In 2007 credit spreads began to rally. Several primary issues were made at attractive spreads and we saw a return to
value from such assets. In 2007 we began to rotate our sovereign debt portfolio, where we identified growing risk on
the credit side. In 2008 the portfolio was entirely comprised of credit with a duration of less than 1 year.
The following year, in 2009, the fund subscribed to several primary credit issuances from companies selected by EDM
with highly attractive spreads. The duration of the portfolio grew as we acquired somewhat longer terms, but very
attractive credit. The fund saw good results in 2009 thanks to its strong position in credit and a near complete
absence of debt, as well as a longer yet still defensive term, all while corporate bond spreads were narrowing rapidly.
Having no position in fixed income instruments was also very positive
20
21. Annex EDM Ahorro
In 2010 credit was again relatively expensive compared to debt. The debt crisis triggered significant growth in Spanish
bond spreads compared to Central European bonds, making the former more attractive than credit and German bonds.
We gradually began to increase the weighting of Spanish and similar debt (agencies and regions) in the portfolio,
subscribing to certain primary issuances. Likewise, we began to invest modestly in financial entities via mortgage-
backed securities.
In 2011 deteriorating financial forecasts, along with a sluggish political response to the European sovereign debt crisis,
caused panic to sweep the markets, triggering a slump in Spanish government debt prices on at least two occasions. As
we saw no insolvency problems for the country, we decided to significantly increase the fund’s exposure to Spanish
sovereign debt (at highly attractive returns) when this occurred. The first occasion came in July when the possibility of
recession began to loom larger, triggering a risk-off period in the markets and causing heavy declines in peripheral
European debt. On 8 August, following S&P’s decision to downgrade its U.S. credit rating, the ECB began buying up
Spanish and Italian bonds on the market and lowered debt rates by a further 100bp to 5%. On that very day we reduced
our exposure to debt from 30% to 18%.
The second occasion came in November, when the markets were again swept by panic. On this occasion we increased
our exposure to peripheral government bonds (mostly Spanish) to nearly 40%, to subsequently reduce this exposure
by more than half in December when the ECB’s 3-year liquidity auction, as well as other support measures for the
financial system, returned calm and confidence to the markets.
Other investments of interest made in 2011 included the purchase of high-quality senior financial entity securities
(Santander and BBVA) in the form of very short-term floating bonds with yields of over 5%. These rallied significantly in
price in the second half of the year thanks to the December liquidity auction, when we took the opportunity to reduce
some of our positions.
21
22. Annex EDM Ahorro
Late in the year, with confidence returning to the markets, the primary corporate credit market improved and we took
up several non-peripheral, non-financial credit issuances, aimed at diversifying the portfolio in terms of core /
peripheral exposure.
In 2011, as prospects of a recession going forward began to look stronger, with no inflationary pressure and a sharper
yield curve, we decided to extend the duration of the fund, investing in somewhat longer term corporate bonds, most
of which were bought in the primary market. Thus the duration of the bond portfolio at year-end stood at slightly over
2 years.
In early 2012 the duration of the bond portfolio increased somewhat. At the beginning of March the portfolio duration
stood at over 2.3 years, although a strong influx of money into the fund over the last week meant an exceptionally
high level of cash and put the term at less than 2 years.
More attractive non-financial corporate bonds were issued in January, in which we took positions, but a sharp rally in
corporate bond prices (and narrowing spreads) in January and February made it increasingly difficult to identify high-
quality corporate bonds with attractive yields.
There are, however, certain sectors within investment grade bonds where we do see value. These include regional
government debt. Despite the financing difficulties that some regional governments are facing, Spain’s central
government has shown a clear intention of providing support. Firstly, it stated that no regional government would be
allowed to fail, and secondly, it has adopted specific measures to help the most indebted regions to refinance their
debt. The credit facilities made available to pay off regional debt and government suppliers are an indication of this.
The regions with the worst problems may also be allowed to issue some kind of sovereign guarantee on the markets
(hispabonds). Given these circumstances and the high yields offered by some regional debt, we have acquired such
bonds with short maturities. 22
23. Annex EDM Ahorro
Turning to financial entities, we have not held subordinated bonds in recent years, but price slumps in late 2011 and
early 2012 saw us take small positions in good-quality subordinated bonds from banks such as BBVA and Santander.
Bonds have performed spectacularly well in the first two months of 2012, largely thanks to liquidity injections from the
ECB and progress towards a solution for the Greek debt crisis. Both corporate credit and peripheral sovereign debt
prices have rallied significantly and yields have fallen. Despite this, we expect to see further episodes of panic sweeping
the markets. We are therefore in no hurry to invest the fund’s cash at any price. Our intention is to take advantage of
market corrections to further build the portfolio, both in credit and government bonds, at more attractive yields and
spreads than currently available.
