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 - Equity Yield Curve

- We have shared the qualities we seek in the companies we invest in and how we research their perceived competitive advantage, but what advantage can an investor have?
- As investment timeframes have become more short term, we have found the long end of the equity yield curve is less competitive and may “yield” more opportunities.
- The concept of the equity yield curve is helpful to visualize how patience can create value.

The Lead - Margin of Upside

- One of the most common mental shortcuts is regression to the mean, or the idea that outcomes far from average will revert to average over time.
- Where did the idea come from, is it true in every case, and can it create a greater understanding and yield profitable insights?
- Finally, if there are advantaged companies that challenge this assumption as the economy has evolved, what valuations will the market typically award them?

U.S. Equity Market Performance Following the First Fed Funds Rate Cut

After two and a half years of battling elevated inflation with aggressive monetary policy tightening measures, the Federal Reserve (Fed) finally reduced the federal funds target rate range (fed funds rate) by 50 basis points during its September 2024 meeting. With recent inflation indicators seemingly within the Fed’s comfort zone, coupled with an increasing emphasis on supporting the labor market, we believe it’s highly likely that additional rate cuts are forthcoming.
