• Fixed Income Investing at Pender

In order to earn attractive fixed income returns, we believe investors need to embrace a process which carefully assesses credit – coverage, seniority and duration – and which takes advantage of a wide arsenal of tools and approaches to enhance returns, as evidenced by our track record. Funds are conservatively managed to preserve capital, and are opportunistic to generate returns.
