Navigator® Short Duration Taxable Fixed Income

Navigate Fixed Income with Short Duration Individual Bonds

Allocation
APPROACH

This strategy provides strategic exposure to a broad range of taxable bonds. The strategy seeks to deliver total return with a secondary goal of income through a carefully constructed portfolio of bonds.

Actively seek attractive opportunities in the current environment.
The strategy is based on the conviction that fundamental analysis provides greater value than speculating through interest rate forecasting. It seeks to exploit potentially undervalued short-term bonds opportunities and provide excess returns through sector and security selection.
Aims to provide current income with lower levels of risk.
The portfolio seeks to achieve strong adjusted returns by building a curated portfolio of individual bonds. Shorter duration maturities may offer attractive yields at a lower level of risk than longer-term securities.
Attempt to opportunistically add value.
Because interest rates do not rise or fall in a linear fashion, our active approach seeks to take advantage of opportunities by building par value. The strategy seeks to take advantage of price inefficiencies during interest rate changes or volatility.
