The Nomura Limited-Term Diversified Income Fund’s Institutional Class underperformed its Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index benchmark in Q4 2025 despite broader market gains. US-China trade tensions briefly escalated before a late-quarter truce, setting a volatile tone for markets, though equities hit record highs and credit spreads tightened to near-historic lows. Q3 2025 GDP growth remained resilient, reinforcing economic stability amid geopolitical uncertainty, though the fund’s fixed-income strategy lagged in the risk-on environment. Macquarie Asset Management, the fund’s adviser, attributed the shortfall to sector allocation and duration mismatches as markets favored higher-yielding assets over conservative debt instruments. The commentary highlights persistent challenges for short-duration funds in low-spread environments, even as macroeconomic conditions and equity performance showed sustained strength.
