We are active, multi-sector asset allocators. Depending on where we are in the economic cycle, the interest rate climate, and other market factors, we seek out the best relative value among investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, securitized bonds (agency and commercial mortgage-backed securities), government bonds, and Treasuries.
Our active approach combines top down macroeconomic analysis and rigorous bottom-up credit research. We evaluate the business cycle, valuation trends, and market technicals to guide our market and sector allocation decisions. Our security selection process combines fundamental, valuation, and technical analysis to identify companies with solid business models and sustainable cash flows.
A key tenet of our active approach to managing fixed income portfolios is to mitigate risk through diversification, in-depth research, and a distinct bias for quality.
