Public 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.

We utilize a top-down process that seeks to preserve principal while generating higher returns than money market funds. This is accomplished through building a yield advantage over the benchmark by over-weighting allocations to investment grade spread sectors and actively managing those exposures throughout the cycle.
Leadership Team
We pride ourselves on a stable team structure where portfolio managers, research analysts, and traders have direct input into portfolio construction.
