SECURITY SELECTION
Chandler’s security selection process employs rigorous quantitative and qualitative tools to determine relative value among individual securities. The investment team employs sophisticated quantitative methods to ensure we purchase securities that we believe have good value along with characteristics to achieve the goals of the investment strategy. Chandler’s substantial asset base that our clients have entrusted to us and our experienced team enables us to transact in many areas of the fixed income markets while garnering influence in the market due to our large scale. Chandler’s credit process enables us to purchase only the securities of issues that meet our stringent credit criteria as well as early detection of weak and deteriorating credits. This process points to issuers that may be undervalued and offer the greatest potential for risk-adjusted returns to achieve our client’s goals.
Term Structure
The term structure for the portfolio is determined with the objective of prioritizing the protection of principal while taking advantage of opportunities to enhance portfolio returns in a market environment with both anticipated and unanticipated yield curve shifts over an investment horizon. We adjust the placement of investments along the yield curve to emphasize the areas with the greatest potential for excess returns.
