⚡ Quantum Brief
The municipal bond fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P New York 5+ Year Investment Grade Index, in Q4 2025, with Class A shares lagging at net asset value. Record municipal bond issuance hit $143 billion for Q4 and $584 billion annually, surpassing 2024’s $509 billion high, reflecting robust market activity. The fund favors revenue bonds over general obligation bonds, citing mitigated pension risks, while maintaining a bullish stance on duration amid a steepened yield curve. The Federal Reserve executed three 2025 rate cuts, including two 0.25% reductions in October and December, easing monetary policy. Management sees opportunities to extend duration as the municipal yield curve steepens, signaling confidence in longer-term fixed-income strategies.
