We Are Tactical, Multi-Asset Investors

Multi-Dimensional

Investors building differentiated portfolios require a flexible multi-asset approach that is diversified across asset classes, sectors, geographies, and securities to navigate a challenging environment. We apply a tactical approach, aligning bottom-up fundamental security selection with global top-down asset allocation views seeking to generate tactical alpha for clients.

Income
Oriented

Income investors require a greater degree of flexibility to invest across bond sectors, equity income securities and hybrids in order to find opportunities throughout changing market conditions. We apply a tactical approach, aligning bottom-up fundamental security selection with top-down asset allocation views seeking to generate a consistent level of income while managing downside risks.

Risk-
Managed

Our multi-asset suite offers well-defined risk allocations and benchmarks to help align with your objectives. We place a high degree of emphasis on being tactical investors, not only to be opportunistic, taking advantage of a changing market, but more importantly to manage downside risk in challenging market environments.
