The bond market enjoyed a bit of a reprieve in January from last year’s incessant downtrend. The biggest tailwind for the market was the downtrend in bond yields, as seen in the chart below of the 10-year Treasury yield. Yields peaked exactly on 12/30/22 and started heading lower as soon as the New Year began. It was a pretty big move too. Bond yields started the year at 3.88% and fell roughly -13% to 3.38% before bouncing a bit into month-end and finishing the month of January at 3.53%

This lifted the lead blanked off of the fixed income market and allowed nearly every sub-sector to rally. Interestrate sensitive investments rallied the most, led by treasuries, munis, and preferreds. But credit sensitive areas such as corporates, high yield, and emerging market bonds also fared well. The Fund came into the year  somewhat defensive, with nearly 50% in cash due to the technical positions of many of the sectors ending 2022. But as the new uptrends emerged and gained strength, we continued to put money to work and whittle down cash.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Of course, the yield curve is still highly inverted, and the Fed is still hiking interest rates and reducing its balance sheet (QT). So we don’t anticipate it being all smooth sailing from here. But for the first time in many years, we are now able to find sectors to invest in with yields anywhere from 6-10%. That’s a big change for income investors, and the prospect of capturing those attractive yields has us more excited than we have been in years.

We will continue to allocate to those sectors able to sustain uptrends, and as always will exit downtrending sectors and move to cash should the need to again become more defensive arise. Protecting capital is always paramount to our strategy, but we remain hopeful that 2023 could turn out to be a very good year for incomeseeking investors.

The ACM Tactical Income Fund (TINIX) had been in defensive mode for most of 2022. But recent cash levels are lower than they have been in many months. This also helps the Fund payout a higher monthly distribution. The Fund returned +2.21% in January versus the AGG Index which returned +3.08%. Last year the Fund outpaced the AGG by a wide margin.

We want to thank all of you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Jordan L. Kahn, CFA
Chief Investment Officer

Investors bear the risk that the Fund may not be able to implement its investments strategies or attract sufficient assets. Purchased put options may decline in value or expire worthless and may have imperfect correlati0on to the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Written call and put options may limit the Funds paticipation in equity market gain s and may amplify losses in market de declines. The Fund’s losses are potentially large in a written put or call transaction. If unhedged, written calls expose the Fund to potentially unlimited losses. The Fund w ill incur a loss as a result of a short position if price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an off setting position is purchase. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security of instrument. The Fund s losses are potentially large in a short position transaction.

Beta is a measure of systemic risk. Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement. It sheds light on the historical volatility of that investment. The greater the standard deviation of a security, the greater the variance between each price and the mean, indicating a larger price range.
