Old Mutual Money Market comment - Sept 18
2018/12/13 00:00:00
There was a general depreciation in emerging market currencies, including the rand, over the quarter following the devaluing of the Turkish lira in July. Despite this weakening, however, domestic consumer price inflation figures did surprise on the downside last quarter and, in addition to providing some relief to the local economy, also allowed the South African Reserve Bank to keep the repo rate unchanged at both the July and September Monetary Policy Committee meetings. Elsewhere, the Federal Open Market Committee in the US continued with their rate normalisation programme and hiked the fed funds target rate by 25 basis points (bps) in September.
Following the depreciation in the rand, there was a further steepening in the forward rate agreement (FRA) curve towards the beginning of last quarter, with the markets pricing in the potential for three rate hikes over the coming year. Further to this, there was also a widening in the spread between the three- and 12-month JIBAR rates, which towards the end of August stood at around 140bps.
At present, we maintain our view of rates remaining unchanged for the rest of the year and, given the steepening in the negotiable certificate of deposit (NCD) curve over the quarter, we opportunistically bought 12-month fixed rate assets at spreads that we believe offered value. That said, we have also been buyers of floating rate assets. These assets were purchased at attractive spreads and helped in managing the interest rate risk in the fund. In addition, we have also been active participants at the weekly Treasury Bill auction, as they are currently still trading at a premium to bank NCDs, especially at the front end.
The fund aims to deliver a regular income and to outperform bank deposits over time, while preserving capital. The fund invests in money market securities with a maturity of less than 12 months. The fund's average maturity may not exceed 90 days.
