Philosophy

The firm’s fixed income team steadfastly believes that successful long-term investment must be inherently based on sound, fundamental research. Our team-oriented approach is considered a key strength and a valuable source of alpha as our management style emphasizes yield enhancement and portoflio diversification – as no single strategy or security should dominate portoflio results.

Process - Collaborative Decision Making

Our investment process combines the best elements of portfolio manager top-down viewpoints (providing sector allocation) research analyst bottom-up input (providing security selection) and traders real-time market analysis to provide the firm with an unparalleled team-oriented approach to investing.

This clearly defined process enables us to mine the various sources of alpha: security selection, sector allocation, duation, credit, and trading. Through a systematic analysis of Fundamental, Valuation and Techincal drivers we are able to maximize risk-adjusted yield by purchasig bonds with improving credit outlook and avoid industries and issues that are likely to experience credit deterioration.

Lastly, as we have a strong alignment of interests with our clients, risk management is critical in all aspects of the portfolio management process.
