    Our Philosophy

    We believe investors should be compensated for the risks they take — in all market environments and any investment strategy.

    Overview

    More Than Just Income

    Investors’ focus on income with high yield bonds may cause them to overlook the importance of price appreciation. We built this strategy to complement income with capital growth, by identifying relative value opportunities and minimizing defaults based on both top down and bottom up research.

    Who it's for

    Investors Seeking to Generate Higher Income

    Income and risk/reward profile compare favorably to investment-grade bonds.

    Investors Seeking to Lower Interest Rate Risk Within Their Portfolios

    Purposeful risk management strategy aims for lower interest rate risk than intermediate investment grade bonds.

    Investors Seeking Capital Appreciation at Lower Risk Than Equities

    Fundamental credit research seeks securities that appear to be attractively valued versus peers in order to capture potential favorable spread compression.

      Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. It is a method used to help manage investment risk.

      All securities investing and trading activities risk the loss of capital. Each portfolio is subject to substantial risks including market risks, strategy risks, advisor risk, and risks with respect to its investment in other structures. There can be no assurance that any portfolio investment objectives will be achieved, or that any investment will achieve profits or avoid incurring substantial losses. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Risk controls and models do not promise any level of performance or guarantee against loss of principal. Any discussion of risk management is intended to describe NTAM’s efforts to monitor and manage risk but does not simply lower risk. This information is general in nature and should not be construed as tax advice. Please consult a tax advisor or professional as to how this information may affect your particular circumstance.
