Investment Philosophy

  

US fixed income markets are sufficiently inefficient and exploitable due to factors including, but not limited to: macroeconomic volatility, implications of constantly evolving technological advancement and deployment, geo-political and other event risks.


  

The US agency MBS market offers a large, liquid venue where a variety of trades can be implemented to construct a portfolio that balances current income and capital appreciation across a wide range of economic cycles.


Opportunities in markets are always present and seasoned managers can identify and monetize them. 


Adherence to a disciplined risk management and security selection process will minimize drawdowns. 


Alpha can be generated through both long and short positions by actively managing exposures such as rates, spreads, while considering asset specific and economic drivers of return.
