Important Disclosure

Alpha: a measure of risk-adjusted performance. A positive alpha indicates outperformance and negative alpha indicates underperformance relative to the strategy’s level of systematic risk. “Alpha engine” alludes to efforts to promote positive risk-adjusted excess return.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Fixed-income securities may be susceptible to general movements in the bond market and are subject to credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk arises from an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer’s credit quality is expected to deteriorate. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates rise causing bond prices to fall. The issuer of a debt security may be able to repay principal prior to the security’s maturity, known as prepayment (call) risk, because of an improvement in its credit quality or falling interest rates. In this event, this principal may have to be reinvested in securities with lower interest rates than the original securities, reducing the potential for income.
