Overview
Through its multi-sector fixed-income strategy, the fund invests mainly in high-yield securities from US issuers with the goal of generating a high level of current income and total return, which provides consistent excess returns above the benchmark over full market cycles.
Key Features
- Employs bond-by-bond portfolio construction with a focus on being well compensated for risks taken. We believe a disciplined process, grounded in fundamental research, enables us to achieve higher total returns with less volatility.
- Draws on a broader investable universe to enhance portfolio construction and risk management. Expanding the universe to include bank loans and preferred securities provides additional opportunities.
- Utilizes robust, independent credit research. Our investment process unites quantitative and qualitative analyses into historical and forward-looking models. The result is a credit rating that reflects where a company is heading.
- Applies a macro overlay to capitalize on opportunities in misunderstood industries and sectors. The overlay acts as a risk control that also considers the business cycle, geopolitical factors, inflation and real rate expectations.
Portfolio Fit
The fund can complement investment grade credit exposure, providing attractive income and total return potential for more risk-tolerant investors.
