TIPS
At Standish, we believe the search for value should drive the investment process as value is most often realized when supported by both fundamental and technical factors. Our conservative approach focuses on the efficiency, liquidity and high quality of the TIPS market to express views on systematic risk, term structure and interest rate volatility as potential sources of return. The goal of our TIPS only strategy is to generate consistent alpha while focusing on low tracking error. Rigorous fundamental macroeconomic research is supplemented with quantitative valuation tools in order to exploit duration and term structure as sources of return. Our bottom up security selection exploits relative value opportunities presented by market technicals, seasonality of inflation, and valuation of embedded inflation floors.
