Investment Research Makes All the Difference
Proprietary research lies at the heart of all our investment capabilities. We emphasize rigorous fundamental analysis, complemented by “top-down” macro and thematic inputs. This insight generates the high conviction investment ideas that drive our investment approach and can help clients achieve their financial goals.
Fixed Income
In-house fixed income risk metrics and proprietary credit ratings complement our access to rating agency and independent third-party credit analysis. These “bottom-up” perspectives are coupled with insight into interest rates, yield curve structure, economic trends, and technical analysis, collectively framing our overall fixed income strategy.
