INVESTMENT DISCIPLINE

Marc-AndrĆ© Gaudreau and his team combine a top-down and bottom-up investment process to actively select securities that offer investors the greatest potential for strong risk-adjusted returns. The team selects securities based upon their independent fundamental credit analysis, while employing a capital preservation philosophy that results in a well-diversified, liquid portfolio. The Poolā€™s flexible mandate allows the manager to shift between different sub-classes of credit securities based upon his outlook for interest rates and credit markets. This allows the team to target higher yields and capital gains over the course of a credit cycle.
