The philosophy behind FCI’s fixed income investment strategy is the belief that bond portfolios represent the more stable portion of an overall investment allocation and are primarily utilized to offset the volatility of riskier assets such as equities.
It is not our approach, therefore, to squeeze out the last bit of return from some of the less liquid or riskier corners of the bond market. Instead, our philosophy is to employ a time-tested disciplined investment process to construct a high-quality portfolio that is suitable for the given set of market conditions.
