Products and Services

• High-Yield/Junk Bonds

  The company specializes in investing at least 80% of its assets in non-investment grade debt instruments, commonly referred to as high-yield or junk bonds. These are debt securities issued by companies with lower credit ratings, offering higher interest rates in return for the increased risk of default. This product targets investors looking for higher income potential and who are comfortable with the associated risks.

• Corporate Bonds and Notes

  Among its core investments are corporate bonds and notes, which are debt securities issued by corporations to fund their operations, acquisitions, or other significant expenditures. These instruments provide a fixed or variable interest rate paid to investors until the maturity date, at which point the principal amount is returned. The focus on corporate bonds and notes allows the company to diversify its investment portfolio and leverage opportunities across different industries and economic conditions.

• Floating Rate Loans

  The company also includes floating rate loans in its investment strategy. These are loans made by financial institutions or syndicates to corporations, typically with interest rates that adjust periodically based on market conditions. This type of investment is appealing for its potential to offer higher returns in rising interest rate environments, providing a hedge against inflation and interest rate risk.

• Foreign Issuer Debt Instruments

  Expanding its diversification strategy, the company invests in debt instruments issued by foreign corporations but denominated in U.S. dollars. This enables the company to tap into international markets and gain exposure to foreign economies without the added complexity of currency risk. These investments can offer unique opportunities for growth and income, broadening the investment options available to the company and its clients.
