Our strategy of active investment management of assets focuses on three core elements: fundamental analysis; identification of deteriorating credits; and taking immediate action.

Credit analysis is the foundation of capital preservation and low volatility in our portfolios. Our experience over numerous credit cycles and our rigorous analytical process enhance our ability to deliver consistent superior results.

We make investments which have strong collateral and covenant packages as part of our strategy to minimize impairment should there be a deterioration in credit fundamentals. By diversifying our holdings amongst many corporate borrowers across a broad array of industries, we seek to minimize the risk of cyclicality and unexpected events.

Throughout various business credit cycles, we have been able to respond quickly to world events, economic influences and discrepancies in the marketplace. This responsiveness remains a cornerstone of our internal management philosophy and serves to set us apart from our competition.
