Active U.S Bond Quarterly Report | July 2026

Active U.S. Bond ETF Manager Review

Performance Trust Total Return Bond UCITS ETF (the “Fund”) returned +1.76% during the quarter. For comparison, the US Flexible Bond Category (the “Category”) returned +1.68% and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) returned +0.67%.[1]

During the quarter, the Fund had exposure to IG Corporates (Banks), HY Corporates, Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), and IG Corporates (Non-Banks), which benefited from spread tightening. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) and Collateralised Loan Obligations also supported Fund returns, with high incomes and steady spreads throughout the quarter. Despite our preference for the 20-year spot on the curve, Taxable Municipals and U.S. Treasuries remained resilient despite higher rates. Higher starting yields (income) helped to offset rate volatility during the quarter, a helpful reminder of the power of higher income and the attractive entry point for fixed income, and the Fund, today.

The Fund’s sector allocation and yield curve positioning, together with individual security selection, influenced returns during the quarter. We believe our investment approach continues to benefit from identifying opportunities across a broad range of fixed income sectors and securities.

Macro Outlook

Treasury yields rose across the curve throughout the quarter. The 2-year Treasury yield rose 38 basis points (bps), while the 10-year Treasury rose 15 bps and the 30-year Treasury rose 4 bps. This bear flattener shift in the curve, where short-term yields rose more than long-term yields, closely resembled the yield curve shift experienced in the first quarter of 2026.[2]

On the other hand, spread movements seemed to reverse trends experienced in the first quarter as most fixed income sectors experienced spread tightening during the second quarter. Investment-Grade Corporate (IG) spreads tightened 15 basis points (bps) while High-Yield Corporate (HY) spreads tightened 47 bps. Both IG Corporates and HY Corporate spreads are now once again near historically tight levels.[3]
