Fixed Income
Take-Aways
1. In an ultra-low interest-rate environment, real returns need to be found somewhere
2. Investors are fleeing cash and need a home
3. Investors are focussing on return, and largely ignoring risk
4. Balanced Funds are currently the most desired
5. Balanced funds: offer diversification and flexibility
6. PSG Have a proven team and track-record of delivery
1. Portfolio construction is a process
2. We approach portfolio construction from a bottom-up basis, focussing on relative valuations
3. A margin of safety is currently paramount (risk over return)
4. If you are only choosing SA Co’s, you are restricting yourself to “the best of a bad bunch”
5. The tailwinds of 2009 are gone
6. Partner with an experienced balanced team
Pick PSG!
47 CONSISTENT CONSERVATIVE CONTRARIAN
What you can expect from PSG
