General Market Review<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July 2026, U.S. equity markets experienced a more volatile trading environment as investors balanced encouraging corporate earnings results against renewed concerns surrounding inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical developments. Following the strong recovery observed during the second quarter, market gains became increasingly uneven, with leadership broadening beyond the largest technology companies while some AI-related stocks came under pressure amid valuation concerns.<\/p>\n

Geopolitical developments once again played an important role in shaping investor sentiment. While the ceasefire between the United States and Iran initially supported markets, renewed tensions in the region during the second half of the month contributed to higher energy prices and increased market volatility. Oil prices rebounded from June levels, renewing concerns that energy costs could slow the recent improvement in inflation trends.
Artificial intelligence remained a dominant investment theme, although investor enthusiasm became more selective. While several semiconductor and technology companies reported strong earnings results, concerns regarding the scale of ongoing AI-related capital expenditures led investors to reassess growth expectations across parts of the sector. As a result, broader market segments and value-oriented stocks generally outperformed their growth counterparts during the month.<\/p>\n

Economic data released during July suggested that the U.S. economy continued to expand, albeit at a more moderate pace. The labor market showed further signs of cooling, with June non-farm payrolls increasing by just 57k jobs while the unemployment rate remained at 4.2%. At the same time, second-quarter GDP growth slowed compared with the previous quarter, although underlying domestic demand remained resilient and consumer spending continued to provide support for economic activity.<\/p>\n

Inflation data provided some relief during the month. Headline CPI declined from 4.2% to 3.5% year-on-year, supported by lower energy prices earlier in the quarter, while core inflation moderated to 2.6%. Despite this improvement, inflation remained above the Federal Reserve\u2019s target, leading policymakers to maintain a cautious stance and keeping uncertainty regarding the future path of interest rates elevated.
In fixed-income markets, government bond yields moved notably higher as investors reduced expectations for near-term monetary easing. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury increased from 4.46% to 4.75% by month-end, while longer-dated bonds came under particular pressure. In Europe, government bond yields also edged higher as markets reassessed global growth and inflation expectations.<\/p>\n

Global equity markets delivered mixed performance during July. The MSCI World Index was broadly unchanged as weakness in U.S. technology shares offset gains in Europe and other developed markets. European equities continued to outperform their U.S. counterparts, supported by relatively attractive valuations, improving economic sentiment, and lower exposure to the AI-related volatility that affected parts of the U.S. market. The MSCI Europe Index increased by +0.97% in Euro terms.<\/p>\n

Portfolio Management Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

Credit markets softened during July. U.S. and European high-yield bonds returned -0.2% and -0.3%, respectively, as credit spreads widened by 9 bps in the U.S. and 3 bps in Europe. Investment-grade markets faced greater headwinds from rising government bond yields, resulting in returns of -1.7% in the U.S. and -1.0% in Europe. Against this backdrop, the Nordic high-yield market remained comparatively resilient, delivering a return of +0.8% as spreads tightened by 13 bps.<\/p>\n

In the Nordic high yield market return volatility continued to be relatively low compared with global equity markets, supported by the asset class’s high carry, short duration profile, and limited sensitivity to movements in long-term interest rates. Energy-related credits gained +1.0%, while non-energy issuers returned+ 0.7%. Exploration & Production (E&P) was the strongest performer, returning+1.4%, while shipping and advanced +0.9%, supported in part by spread tightening. Oil services generated returns of +0.7%.<\/p>\n

Nordic high-yield spreads tightened by 13 bps during July, ending the month at 463 bps. Approximately 12 bps of the tightening was driven by spread compression among existing index constituents, while the remaining 1 bp reflected the impact of the index rebalancing at the end of June. E&P was the strongest-performing sector, with spreads tightening by almost 60 bps, primarily supported by stronger performance from BlueNord ASA. Shipping also recorded spread tightening during the month, while spreads across the remaining sectors were broadly unchanged.<\/p>\n

The Seahawk Credit Opportunities Fund delivered a solid performance in Juley supported by its sector positioning, including a 24.2% allocation to exploration and production (E&P) and a 26.1% allocation to oilfield services. The EUR-S and USD-S share classes generated monthly returns of +0.2% and +0.3%, respectively. On a year-to-date basis, the share classes have returned +2.3% and +3.1%, significantly outperforming the broader US and European high-yield markets.<\/p>\n
