Welcome to the Atlantic Bond Fund September 2025 Report, available for download below.


Hi all,

September brought a favourable shift for fixed income after the Fed’s 25bps cut: yields eased, the curve flattened and credit spreads tightened — a constructive backdrop for diversified bond portfolios. The Fund delivered +0.46% for the month, lifting since-inception performance to +0.54%.

September Highlights
  • Performance+0.46% (Sep); +0.54% since inception.
  • Domestic credit leadership: Portuguese corporate debt added +17bps (Fidelidade +6bps, REN +5bps).
  • International & Euro debt: Euro HY ETF +6bps, 1–5yr IG ETF +2bps; AT1 and USD EM allocations added meaningfully (AT1 +5bps, USD EM +6bps, EUR-hedged EM +8bps).
  • Gold tailwind: Gold contributed +20bps as prices surged 11% (EUR), almost half of the month’s return.
  • Active move: Added iShares Core GBP Corporate Bond ETF to increase geographic and credit diversification (opportunistic on Gilt dislocation).

We remain conservatively positioned — anchored in high-quality Portuguese credit, complemented by selective international exposures and gold as a hedge — focused on capital preservation and steady income as rate volatility evolves.

Best regards,
Nuno Serafim
