Consumer Discretionary Strategy
- American Consumers are spenders not savers. This strategy focuses on where consumers spend money and when they spend – i.e. holidays, life events, home purchases, education, etc.
- There are many sectors which are covered – retail (inline and bricks & mortar, restaurants – QSRs and casual dining, homebuilding, automotive, luxury brands, travel. payment processing, etc.
Energy Transition Strategy
- Both traditional and alternative energy investments carry risks. Traditional energy is a deep cyclical industry that many investors view as being volatile. Most emerging energy companies are inherently technology providers with volatile stock prices.
- We seek to capture the strong return potential presented by clean and traditional energy, and at the same time temper their individual risk profiles. This is achieved by properly combining these uncorrelated industries in our energy transition portfolio that should mirror the transition from traditional to clean energy over time.
Fixed Income Strategy
- Focuses on capital preservation with stable income generation over time
- Holdings may include high grade corporate bonds, preferred stocks and structured notes
- Tailored strategies can be created to mitigate risks of higher interest rates and inflation
