Overview

  • 01

    The Investment Grade Credit strategy seeks to provide diversification within US IG Credit by focusing on relative value assessments in a process to help limit downside exposures. The strategy is designed to deliver consistent, risk-managed and attributable investment results by identifying opportunities at the sector and security level.

  • 02

    The team’s process is fundamental in nature and relies on the broad and dedicated US IG Credit resources including portfolio management and construction, research, trading, capital markets and risk.

  • 03

    Duration, curve and out-of-benchmark allocations to higher beta sub-sectors like High Yield are levers that the team can pull, but are not the drivers of performance. Capabilities exist across the spread curve including intermediate, broad and long duration strategies and are heavily customized given the various objectives of the client.
