Investment Philosophy
We believe our combined approach of in-depth bottom-up credit analysis with top-down macro views is the key to identifying attractive risk-adjusted investment opportunities.
The Corporate Team’s strategy seeks to generate consistent positive excess returns through the economic cycle using a rigorous bottom-up analysis and structured evaluation of security selection opportunities. We attempt to exploit market imperfections by seeking to: identify favorable credit stories, capitalize on relative value opportunities, and avoid credit events.
