Fixed-Income Investments: An Active Approach to Generate Income

 
 

Building Blocks for Efficient Income

 

An efficient income portfolio minimizes the level of drawdown risk for every level of income.

 
  1. Embrace risk to generate income with global, multisector credit

    Add global high yield, emerging-market debt and securitized credit in a diversified portfolio to generate excess income.

  2. Choose high quality for downside mitigation

    Embrace high-quality core bonds to counterbalance risk assets.

  3. Balance rates and diversified credit in a barbell structure

    This efficient structure generates the most income for every unit of risk.

There is no assurance that a separately managed account will achieve its investment objective. Separately managed accounts are subject to market risk, the market values of securities owned will fluctuate so that your investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original cost.
