QL fitted curve has weird shape when transiotioning from Futures to Swap

imachabeli
Picture is better than thousand words so attached is the curve fitted via QL
convex monotone (PiecewiseYieldCurve<ForwardRate ,ConvexMonotone>) vs
bloomberg for the same settle date,  same instruments and  same convexity
adjustments on futures.
 
At 4 year period fitting transition from futures to swap and curve has weird
shape. I tried to add couple of futures closer to 4Y point but that does not
help.
 
Question probably goes to  Luigi, what am I missing , is there extra setting
to preserve the the sign of the second derivative?
 
Thanks
Irakli

Ferdinando is the curve expert here.  Any suggestions?
