Overview

ABOUT THIS STRATEGY

Fixed income benchmarks are inefficient, exposing clients to an undesirable mix of risk factors. We believe diversifying risk factors, dynamically allocating capital, and active security selection results in better client outcomes. Our disciplined, transparent, risk-budgeting-based process is designed to deliver consistent performance.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

Our Team: Culture of collaboration, global integration and respectful challenge with a research-first mentality.

Disciplined Risk Budgeting: Disciplined investment process targets repeatable performance utilizing our structural foundation as a better starting point.

High Conviction: Bottom-up idea generation across a diverse set of return sources, incorporating dynamic allocation through market cycles.
