Investment Process
Investment Objective:
Seeks to outperform the Bloomberg U.S. TIPS Index over a full market cycle.
Investment Overview:
We believe an inflation-hedged portfolio should be actively managed to exploit market inefficiencies. Our three step approach includes a comparison of current breakeven rates to long-term average inflation rates, an assessment of the new-issue calendar which impacts the maturity distribution, and a quantitative review that calculates the yield of every issue relative to a fitted yield curve for the TIPS market allowing us to take advantage of inefficiencies.
