Investment Grade Fixed Income Focus

Breckinridge strives to provide solid fixed income returns, especially in periods of economic distress and uncertainty when riskier assets, such as equities, are out of favor. These are the times when fixed income returns are likely to matter most to investors.

While we are opportunistic and always look to add value and return, we are disciplined trying to limit risk and remaining faithful to our mandate of seeking a safe, reliable source of income and capital for our clients.

Since inception, Breckinridge has never strayed from this mandate.

INTENSE RESEARCH & ANALYSIS

Far more than a formality, the proprietary research opinions of our experienced analyst team provide critical input on existing and prospective bond investments.

With an investment philosophy that centers on striking the right balance between mitigating risk and pursuing return, in-depth research forms the core of our investment process. Our analysts conduct intense bottom-up analysis to ensure that our investments meet our high standards for risk and return.

In conducting research, we aim to gain the broadest, most comprehensive view of an issuer. To that end, we never stop challenging ourselves to intensify the rigor of our analysis. It’s a relentless pursuit that continues to help push our research forward.

EXPERTS IN ESG INTEGRATION

We are among the leaders in integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into fixed income analysis and we are deeply committed to continuous innovation in sustainable investing.

We believe that ESG integration enables us to gain deeper insight into the underlying risk and value of an investment. As investment grade fixed income investors, we prioritize long-term value creation over short-term market gains, and we believe that ESG considerations align with this perspective.

We integrate ESG research across our assets under management and offer clients a range of specifically designated sustainable strategies that emphasize ESG.

CUSTOMIZED SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

Breckinridge strongly believes in the merits of owning investment grade fixed income securities directly.

A portfolio of individual bonds helps provide a reliable cash flow of income and capital that is earned independent of the market.* This is an important way in which bonds can meaningfully counterbalance riskier assets and provide a safe haven in times of market dislocation.

Breckinridge has placed significant resources into systems that allow us to efficiently build, manage and customized separate accounts to properly align with each client's objectives, risk tolerances and liquidity needs.

*Assumes no bond issuer defaults, which are rare among investment-grade bond issuers.

EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY

Breckinridge is constantly enhancing the systems and technology that form the backbone of our investment process.

We recognize that the portfolios we manage are often the bedrock of our clients' investment portfolios, so we understand how important it is for us to execute at the highest level. Breckinridge is committed to innovation in order to keep strengthening our caliber of investment grade fixed income management.

My team’s goal is to exhaust every opportunity we have to make things better. Anything we can do to make this business more successful, we will do that.
