Investment grade public fixed income

SLC Fixed Income

Fixed income markets, like most over-the-counter investment markets, are inefficient. These inefficiencies are amplified during periods of increased market volatility, leading to opportunities for active managers to add value by identifying inconsistent pricing between individual issuers, industry sectors or even geographies. We aim to exploit these inconsistencies to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns for our clients.

Potential benefits for investors

For actively managed investment grade and below investment grade public fixed income strategies, we seek to provide investors with a host of benefits to strengthen their portfolios, including:

  • Consistent income
  • Liquidity
  • Opportunity for liability matching
  • Potential for higher yields while preserving capital
