Global Balanced
For both individual and institutional investors, the first step in achieving above-average risk-adjusted returns is to focus on preservation of capital during periods of higher than normal risk in the markets. Interinvest’s basic investment model utilizes a “top-down” approach. Through an analysis of current geopolitical events and their effects on macroeconomic trends, we anticipate secular trends and how they affect the world’s financial markets. Learn more
International Fixed Income
The International Fixed Income Product is designed to maximize the rates of return and generate additional income for our clients in a manner consistent with our overall investment philosophy, which is conservative and risk averse. For the majority of our clients with a fixed income mandate, we emphasize the preservation of capital while looking at supranational, high quality corporate credit of investment grades, or government and government-sponsored issues. These instruments offer sources of fixed income through current income (coupon), capital appreciation, and currency appreciation (when applicable).
Fixed Income portfolios with a mandate that includes exposure to non-investment grade, lower credit quality issues bring with them a concurrent higher degree of risk. In additional to the risks listed above, such high yield bonds carry credit risk associated with the borrower’s ability to meet coupon payments and principal payments to lenders. While exposure to this side of the credit spectrum is not for the risk averse, we actively seek out value in corporate debt we believe the market is mispricing or a company that has assembled a feasible and realistic turnaround plan.
Our universe encompasses all major developed capital markets with security selection including but not restricted to supranational, government, and government-sponsored issues, along with corporate debt with a Standard and Poor’s equivalent rating of non-investment grade through AAA.
