Value Short Duration
Investment Objective
The Value Short Duration strategy seeks long-term total return consistent with the preservation of capital.
Description
The strategy uses a value-driven approach and seeks to generate return by investing in a portfolio of investment grade, fixed income securities. Income is especially important in managing a short duration mandate, and our investment objective is to balance the goals of stability of capital and total return.
The strategy seeks to add value by capitalizing on imbalances in the relationships among sectors and individual bonds. We believe that investing in undervalued sectors and bonds and selling expensive ones using a relative value assessment is the ideal process to capture value.
The strategy typically invests in US dollar-denominated fixed income securities including governments, corporate bonds, securitized bonds, sovereign and supranational entities, as well as municipal bonds. The strategy is duration neutral, meaning that portfolio duration is set in an attempt to meet client objectives and does not incorporate forecasts or speculation. There is no exposure to currency risk, high yield bonds or emerging market debt.

Investment risks: All investments involve risks including the risk of possible loss of principal. The market value of the portfolio may decline as a result of a number of factors, including interest rate risk, credit risk, inflation/deflation risk, mortgage and asset-backed securities risk, U.S. Government securities risk, foreign investment risk and liquidity risk.
