Fixed Income
Miles Capital uses a time-tested and proven fixed income investment philosophy and process to guide effective investment decisions and generate superior performance. Investment decisions are driven by the opportunity to capture additional returns while managing portfolio risk. Since 1982, the firm's philosophy has emphasized three central tenets:
- Capital preservations
- Risk-aware portfolio construction
- A focus on our long-term view of the economy and financial markets
Miles Capital's investment process begins with a disciplined top-down analysis of the global and domestic trends that influence the U.S. dollar denominated fixed income market. Our process further defines a desired level of interest rate risk, yield curve positioning, sector rotation and security selection. The selection of specific issues to be included in a portfolio is a bottom-up process which identifies the best securities within a sector or industry that already has been identified as attractive through the top-down analysis. Collectively, these decisions are combined with defined risk parameters to achieve an optimal portfolio. This process, consistently applied over time, has led to low benchmark tracking error and a consistent excess return pattern.
