US Core / Core Plus
Designed as the foundation of a portfolio's fixed income allocation, with risk tailored to the client's guidelines, these strategies aim to outperform the appropriate index over the course of a market cycle. We actively pursue multiple sources of excess return from sectors including corporate bonds, mortgage/asset-backed securities, Treasuries/TIPS, international debt, and in the case of 'Plus' portfolios, high yield and emerging markets debt as well.
