Core Fixed Income

Investment Philosophy

Our fixed income investment approach combines bottom-up research with top-down sector selection to consistently seek favorable, risk-adjusted results. We believe that the volatility of market prices exceeds that of fundamental asset values. This dislocation creates opportunities for investors with the skilled personnel, infrastructure and insight necessary to identify relative value generated by market inefficiencies.
