Client-Driven Portfolio Solutions
APPROACH & VIEW
- Investment professionals partner with clients to provide custom solutions that strive for the optimal balance of low volatility, principal preservation, liquidity and returns. Our approach is focused first on liquidity needs and current market risk and then optimizing return potential.
- We believe prudent risk management is key to long-term investment success. We seek to avoid negative surprises by focusing on implementation processes and governance and optimizing cash allocations to meet the specific risk appetite of our clients.
- Portfolio construction is founded on a repeatable, continuous review at a security and issuer level focused on high quality and low volatility. Client investment guidelines and liquidity needs are the cornerstone and foundation of our investment process.
- Our independent credit research team determines an approved issuer list. Sector and credit variables, rating sensitivity, and underlying fundamentals are evaluated at an issuer and security level, then reviewed for structural, market and concentration risks before receiving formal approval from the counterparty credit risk research committee. The Portfolio Management Team has access to the credit research team’s updates in real time through our Fixed Income Research Database.
