Fixed Income

Sterling Capital manages institutional assets for a diverse group of clients, including corporate, public, insurance, non-profits, and health care investment pools.

Overview

Our primary goals are long-term, consistent investment performance and exceptional client service. We achieve these goals by maintaining a consistent process for managing risk and a complete focus on developing strong client relationships.

Sterling Capital's Fixed Income team strives to deliver consistent, superior risk-adjusted performance over time through a multi-faceted approach to investing. Based on our team's forecast for the broader economy and specific market sectors, we utilize a variety of strategic and tactical levers that allow us to construct portfolios for any type of market environment.

Due to the asymmetric risk/return profile of bonds, we believe in the importance of quantifying risk prior to assessing the potential return of any investment. We analyze risk on both a stand-alone basis and within the portfolio context and firmly believe that when it comes to risk, “if you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it.”

The Lead - Thawing in Housing?

- Our investment team has discussed what areas of the market appear to be overlooked and may have the ability to distinguish themselves.
- An area that has slowed dramatically, been in an “Ice Age” of sorts, has been the U.S. housing industry, where the increase in mortgage rates and challenged affordability has greatly lowered activity.
- Could lower rates improve affordability and new home sales? Lower rates may also encourage greater investment from current owners to invest in repairing and remodeling their homes. Housing may be an area of emerging thematic optionality for investors.
