35、P,Consar,BNP Paribas Afores fixed income holdings have risen significantly in the last quarter(USD8.1bn,or 6%),supported by a strong increase in UDIbonos(10%,or USD4.7bn),which now comprise 26%of Siefores total AUM.We have also seen a significant decline in Siefores CETES holdings in the past three
36、months(-17%,or USD1.7bn).Meanwhile,Afores equity holdings increased MXN41.2bn in April,leading to a 4%q/q increase(USD1.4bn).However,Afores equity holdings fell 7%(USD2.7bn)compared to March 2018.Foreign equity holdings led the decline(11%y/y,or USD3.1bn),while domestic equity holdings increased 4%y
37、/y,or USD0.4bn.In sum,fixed income assets now make up an even larger share of Mexican pension funds portfolios.Fig.25-26:Breakdown of pension funds holdings Sources:Bloomberg LLP,Consar,BNP Paribas Strategy implications Factors responsible for the higher exposure of non-residents include the current
38、 interest rate level,which offers an attractive carry for foreign investors in an environment where rates have been compressing worldwide,and Mexicos investment-grade status,which has aligned with a more controlled inflation,placing the country in the spotlight.This is in line with our view and posi
