Enhanced Core
(as of March 31, 2010)
Philosophy
The objective of our Enhanced Core fixed income discipline is to enhance portfolio return over time without incurring interest rate or credit risk that is significantly greater than that of the market. SCM blends top down macro-economic analysis with bottom up issue and structure research to build portfolios. While up to 40% of the portfolio may be invested in high yield securities, the portfolio average quality is rated "BBB" or better.
