Products and Services

• Domestic and International Equity Securities

  These are stocks of companies located within the home country of the investor (domestic) or in other countries (international). Investing in equity securities offers potential capital appreciation and dividends, allowing investors to participate in the financial performance of various firms across different industries and geographies.

• Domestic and International Investment-Grade and High Yield Debt Securities

  Debt securities include bonds and other forms of debt instruments that governments or corporations issue. Investment-grade debts offer lower risk with moderate returns, while high yield (or "junk") bonds offer higher risk and potentially higher returns. These instruments provide income through interest payments and can enhance portfolio diversification.

• Hybrid Equity/Debt Securities

  Hybrid securities combine features of both debt and equity, offering regular income payments like bonds, with the potential for capital appreciation like stocks. Examples include convertible bonds and preferred stocks. They typically offer higher yields than pure debt instruments with a similar risk profile.

• First Lien Senior Secured Floating Rate Bank Loans (Senior Loans)

  Senior Loans are loans made to businesses that are secured by the borrower's assets and have priority over other debts in the case of default. These loans have floating interest rates, which adjust with market rates and thus offer protection against interest rate rises. This asset class is sought for its income-producing potential and lower risk relative to unsecured or subordinated debt.

• REITs, Including Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs

  Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies that own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate. Equity REITs invest in physical properties, while Mortgage REITs invest in mortgages or mortgage securities tied to real estate. REITs offer investors a way to access real estate markets with liquidity similar to that of stocks, alongside potential income through dividends and capital appreciation.
