PAYDEN US DOLLAR LIQUIDITY FUND - UCITS
31 JANUARY 2016
FUND HIGHLIGHTS & STRATEGY
MARKET
§ Invests in short-term investment-grade US dollar-denominated instruments
§ The year began with heightened market volatility on concerns over economic conditions and a
continued slide in oil prices. The Federal Reserve left the Fed Funds rate unchanged, but has not
ruled out another hike in March. Two-year maturity Treasuries ended the month at 0.77%.
§ Fund investments in US Government and agency securities provide high degree of liquidity
§ Over $100 billion was issued in the primary markets for investment-grade corporate securities, but
could have been higher as some issuers stood down given the market conditions.
Commodity-sensitive businesses led the declines in the corporate sector.
§ Diversified portfolio holdings
§ Moody’s placed 55 metals and mining companies on review for a downgrade, adding to the
challenging environment that these companies operate in.
OUTLOOK
§ The Federal Open Market Committee should continue to raise the Fed funds target if solid economic
data persists, hiking at least twice this year.

markets.
