BBH Luxembourg Funds - BBH Income Fund Institutional Quarterly Update - Q2 2025

Co-Portfolio Managers, Andrew Hofer, Neil Hohmann and Paul Kunz, discusses how the Income Fund portfolio performed over the most quarter-end.
BBH Lux Income Fund Quarterly Update - Q2 2025

“In like a lion, out like a lamb” is an apt metaphor for capital markets in the second quarter. On April 2, 2025, the roar of Liberation Day tariffs rattled global markets. However, President Trump subsequently reduced the proposed tariff levels and markets rebounded strongly. A steady stream of notable headlines followed, including, but not limited to, the Moody’s U.S. downgrade, questions about the Federal Reserve’s independence, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act and its impact to the U.S.fiscal deficit, and rising tensions in the Middle East. Despite the deluge of news, the quarter ended with economic and market data seemingly unconcerned with those headlines. Equities posted strong returns during the quarter, while credit performed well as spreads narrowed back to recent lows. Unemployment and inflation data remained steady, and business and consumer sentiment improved from Liberation Day lows. Market predictions shifted to a higher-for-longer Fed stance.

BBH Luxmebourg Funds - BBH Income Fund

BBH Luxembourg Funds - BBH Income Fund seeks to provide maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. The Fund is designed to deliver excellent returns through market cycles for investors seeking broad exposure to the fixed income market.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Credit Quality letter ratings are provided by Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch and are presented as the higher of the three ratings. When a security is not rated by Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch, the highest credit ratings from DBRS and Kroll may be used. Credit ratings reflect the credit quality of the underlying issues in the portfolio and not of the portfolio itself. Issues with credit ratings of BBB or better are considered to be investment grade, with adequate capacity to meet financial commitments. Issues with credit ratings below BBB are considered speculative in nature and are vulnerable to the possibility of issuer failure or business interruption.

Effective duration is a measure of the portfolio’s return sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

Weighted Average Life of securities excludes US Treasury futures positions.

Yield to Maturity is the rate of return the portfolio would achieve if all purchased bonds and derivatives were held to maturity, assuming all coupon and principal payments are received as scheduled and reinvested at the same yield to maturity. This figure is subject to change and is not meant to represent the yield earned by any particular security. Yield to Maturity is before fees and expenses.

The BofA ML U.S. High Yield Corporate Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated high yield corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market.

RISKS
There is no assurance the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, maturity, call and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Asset- backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are generally limited recourse obligations and may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates and are subject to prepayment and extension risks, as well as risk that the underlying borrower will be unable to meet its obligations. Below investment grade securities are subject to a high level of credit and market risks.

The Fund also invests in derivative instruments, investments whose values depend on the performance of the underlying security, assets, interest rate, index or currency and entail potentially higher volatility and risk of loss compared to traditional bond investments.

The Fund may engage in certain investment activities that involve the use of leverage, which may magnify losses.

Non-U.S. investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Prices of emerging market securities can be significantly more volatile than the prices of securities in developed countries, and currency risk and political risks are accentuated in emerging markets.

A significant investment of Fund assets within one or more sectors, industries, securities and/or durations may increase its vulnerability to any single economic, political, or regulatory developments, which will have a greater impact on the Fund's return.

Illiquid investments subject the Fund to the risk that it may not be able to sell the investments when desired or at favorable prices.

The fund is new without an operating history.

Risk factors are described in more details in the Fund’s prospectus.
