Flexible and dynamic global investing
High-conviction, actively-managed multi-asset solutions for an evolving market.
We identify opportunities across fixed income and equity, adhering to a disciplined research-driven approach tailored to each asset class and focused on the potential for risk-adjusted outperformance in concentrated, diversified strategies.
We incorporate equity by taking a comprehensive view of value that spans wide-ranging metrics we use to determine whether or not a security is priced appropriately, relative to other prospects. We assess fixed income through intensive credit research, investing only when the risk/reward tradeoff appears tilted decidedly in the shareholder’s favor.
Investment Income Builder
A highly active and flexible approach allows us to go anywhere in the world to seek income. The portfolio is global, diversified, and multi-asset built with income-producing stocks and bonds that seeks to deliver an attractive and growing income stream.   We apply a rigorous, bottom-up fundamental research process to identify dividend-paying companies with strong cash flows that have both the ability and willingness to pay and grow their dividends over time.

A Different Approach to Asset Allocation
Most strategic and tactical asset allocations have their foundations in decades of capital market expectations for return and risk. Those strategies seek to forecast changing market/economic conditions from macroeconomic perspective. When put into practice, this can often result in client portfolios with allocations to dozens of asset categories and small over/under weighting positions with little effect to the return and risk profile for the investor. We think there is a better way. Our bottom-up fundamental research, a macroeconomic perspective and factor insights inform our global, multi-asset perspective. Using broad categories of equity, fixed income and commodities, we build portfolios to deliver attractive real returns across various market environments and with lower overall volatility.
