Thornburg Multisector Opportunistic Strategy

Strategy Overview
The Multisector Opportunistic Strategy is built around a highly active and flexible approach, designed to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in fixed income securities across sector, credit quality and geography. Employing a collaborative process that combines top-down macroeconomic considerations with deep, fundamental credit research, the strategy aims to generate returns above that of core fixed income strategies with only incrementally higher risk over time.
