Investment Grade Bond Strategy
The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of total return through current income and capital appreciation as is consistent with preservation of capital primarily through investment-grade fixed-income securities.
What are the principles that have enabled the strategy to be successful?
Duration neutral – interest rate risk is minimized by maintaining portfolio duration close to the benchmark.
Income tilt – in healthy market environments, the Seix portfolio will typically have a yield advantage over the benchmark.
Active sector rotation and diversification – sector allocations are deliberate and change primarily as a result of bottom up relative value assessment. Under/overweights are contained and position sizes in non-government securities are small.
