Overview

ABOUT THIS FUND

The Fund seeks high, current income with lower volatility than a dedicated high-yield strategy. Our approach leverages dynamic allocation and a bottom-up, fundamentally driven process that focuses on identifying the best risk-adjusted opportunities across fixed income sectors.

WHY INVEST IN THIS FUND

Our Team: Same portfolio management team since inception of the strategy with more than 75 years of combined investment industry experience and complementary expertise in high yield credit, investment grade credit and securitized assets.

Disciplined Risk Budgeting: We dynamically allocate risk across market cycles and build a structural foundation of more optimal allocations designed to serve as a better starting point than traditional benchmarks.

High Conviction: Best ideas portfolio, with bottom-up research expected to drive excess returns and enhance our ability to invest in smaller, hard-to-access issuers not widely covered across industry analysts.
