Core Plus

A flexible core plus fixed income portfolio that leverages a research-driven investment process in seeking to identify the best opportunities across fixed income sectors

Overview

ABOUT THIS STRATEGY

Using our broad global research capabilities, we strive to exploit fixed income market inefficiencies by building a structural foundation that we believe serves as a better starting point than traditional benchmarks. We aim to generate additional alpha through sector rotation and security selection and by seeking to take the right amount of risk at each point in the cycle.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

Our Team: A culture of collaboration, global integration and a research-first mentality is the cornerstone to our team’s process.

Disciplined Risk Budgeting: We target repeatable performance by building a structural foundation of more optimal allocations designed to serve as a better starting point than traditional benchmarks.

High Conviction: We dynamically allocate risk across market cycles and invest with conviction, with bottom-up research expected to drive excess returns.
