Fixed Income

Investment Goal

We seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through a fully integrated team approach that leverages proprietary fundamental research and active trading.

Investment Approach

For over 20 years we have followed a guiding philosophy that while fixed income markets are generally efficient, opportunities often arise from the mispricing of securities that are exposed to credit, prepayment, and/or liquidity risk.
