To achieve above average performance, primarily from high current income, while limiting downside risk.

Combine rigorous, fundamental, bottom-up research with a disciplined investment process to achieve above-average performance and limit downside risk.

  • Proven management teams
  • Tangible assets that generate cash flow
  • Reasonable relative valuation levels

The team employs a fundamental, bottom-up, research-driven investment process that is both disciplined and repeatable. They identify attractive opportunities based on our underlying economic view, industry trends and insight gained from the wide-ranging network of GE businesses. Issuers are initially chosen on relative value, followed by fundamental credit analysis, which form the basis for a formal review between analysts and portfolio management. Proprietary, quantitative models and well-defined diversification rules support the process and provide risk controls.
