Overview

ABOUT THIS STRATEGY

This dynamic, short-duration bond fund seeks risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation. Our approach leverages a bottom-up, fundamentally driven investment process.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

Dynamic Core Short-Duration Bond Holding
The Fund emphasizes risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation while seeking to identify the best opportunities across fixed income sectors using a bottom-up, fundamentally driven investment process.

Integrated Research
Partnership and fluid communication between fixed income and equity analysts promote idea generation. Credit research emphasizes free cash flow generation, quality of management and security valuation.

Sophisticated Risk Management
Our proprietary fixed income portfolio and risk-management system, Quantum Global, is integrated into the investment process at each step. We identify and measure the sources of risk in the portfolio at multiple levels to confirm that the portfolio is positioned as intended.
