ABOUT THIS FUND

A high-conviction, active high-yield strategy that seeks to generate competitive risk-adjusted returns while mitigating drawdowns. The strategy takes a research-first mentality on both macro and security selection risks.

WHY INVEST IN THIS FUND

High Conviction

Research Driven
Our analysts cover issuers across the credit quality spectrum and capital structure, enabling a complete picture of fundamental credit risk. Analysts function as sector experts and risk managers alongside portfolio managers to identify potential outperformers.
