About High Yield Bond
Investment Objective
Over a full market cycle, the Income team seeks to provide a return, net of our management fee, that outperforms the ICE® Bank of America Merrill Lynch US High Yield BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index.
Investment Overview
The Income team seeks to identify opportunities within high yield corporate credit that generate strong current income and total return potential per unit of risk taken. The team combines fundamental credit work, relative value analysis, and a macroeconomic overlay in portfolio construction. Focus is placed on higher quality non-investment grade credit (primarily BB and B rated) although positions in CCC bonds are opportunistically added when risk/reward is believed favorable.
Strategy Highlights
Repeatability: a tenured team executing a consistently applied process
A time-tested approach
- Combining bottom-up credit analysis, relative-value, and a macro economic overlay
- Seeking to generate a higher yield versus the benchmark while maintaining an attractive risk/reward profile
- Thoughtful capacity considerations afford opportunities to make meaningful investments in opportunities often overlooked by larger-sized mandates
- CCC and below rated credit limited to 20%
