▪ Rating: A+f (arg) by Fix Scr (Affiliate of Fitch Rating).
▪ Performance: Outstanding performance historical. The Fund seeks to position itself in the
first quartile of profitability with respect to its peer group (T+1 funds in pesos). Likewise, it seeks to surpass its index of Badlar benchmark + 200 basis points.
▪ Current Positioning: Positioned mainly (approximately 55% of the portfolio) in the short sections of the curves CER (bills and sovereign bonds). Saying CER positioning, is located
diversified with Badlar bonds (corporate and provincial) and dollar-linked bonds (both sovereign and corporate) with futures of dollar sold in Rofex (constituting thus synthetically in pesos).
On May 12, the BCRA made the fifth rate hike of the year, raising the policy rate by 200 points
basic (currently at 49% annual nominal). Likewise, this increase also reached the rest of the
placements in pesos, where the rate of 30-day time deposits for individuals (up to $10 million) is . In the common investment funds (FCI), this is being seen reflecting a greater appetite for T+1 funds such as Delta Ahorro and Delta Ahorro Plus, where certain investors in search for greater profitability, they go from money market funds (funds to compound accrual mainly for fixed terms and remunerated bank accounts that currently have a TNA of around 37%) to T+1 funds (made up of short- and medium-term fixed-income assets that these funds currently have a TNA at 30 days between 44% and 48% depending on the risk profile). In this sense, Delta Ahorro is presented as an attractive alternative to the money market fund due to its conservative profile. At Delta Ahorro we maintain a conservative management, short in duration (around 3 months), focusing on credit quality and liquidity.
The fund is mainly positioned in short Badlar corporate bonds, financial trusts, fixed terms
and a good level of liquidity (allocated in precancelable fixed terms, money market funds and bank accounts remunerated, etc.) Delta Ahorro does not invest in Treasury Bills and Bonds. At Delta Savings Plus we continue actively managing all short and medium term Peso curves. Currently the fund is positioned mainly (approximately 55% of the portfolio) in the short sections of the CER curves (letters and Sovereign bonds). Said CER positioning is diversified with Badlar bonds (corporate and provincial) and dollar-linked bonds (both sovereign and corporate) with dollar futures sold on Rofex increased to TNA of 48% and the Badlar rate is currently around 46%. In this sense, we believe that to continue this process of raising rates. However, at least in the short term, we do not see it reaching positive real rates even when the agreement with the IMF contemplates a structure of interest rates higher than the
inflation. The rate increase differential between the short and long tranches continued to widen, repos to 1 day it only rose 150 basis points, giving greater incentives to investors in the cash management segment and short-term fixed income to assume longer duration
