High Yield Fixed income can distribute stable income and total return while dampening volatility relative to equities and adding yield relative to core bonds.
Active management and a focus on downside risk can help produce stable long-term out performance.
We aim to generate consistent alpha in the top quartile relative to peers which over long periods leads to attractive peer comparisons.

Case study
Renewed Growth in High Yield Market
• The US High Yield Fixed Income market has recently increased in size, after 6 years of modest decline, in sharp contrast to the very rapid growth of Leveraged Loans and Private Debt markets
• There has been a record new issuance year-to-date (August 2020) of relatively high quality bonds, with many secured bond deals
• Much of the additional High Yield market growth due to significant “fallen angels” (downgraded IG bonds)
• All of these trends have led to a 25-year low in HY credits rated B- or lower
