Services
Value Equity
Our value equity strategy identifies undervalued companies with strong cash flows and competitive advantages. We use proprietary CFROI analysis to assess discounted present value, focusing on businesses where market valuations imply overly pessimistic profit forecasts. This disciplined approach seeks long-term capital appreciation through security selection and risk management.
Fixed Income
Our fixed income strategy emphasizes active credit risk management over interest rate risk. Through credit research and economic modeling, we capitalize on bond market inefficiencies while maintaining downside protection. Portfolios are customized to client guidelines with duration management to mitigate rate sensitivity, focusing on spread opportunities and credit-based diversification.
International Equity
The international equity strategy employs bottom-up fundamental research and concentrated portfolios. We target companies undergoing strategic transformations or operational undervaluation through extensive in-house analysis and global company visits. This approach combines decades of international experience with a focus on market dislocations in non-US markets.
