Client Service
 


STW operates on the premise that undervalued bonds will outperform overvalued bonds, and purchases bonds it believes are undervalued. When the bonds become fully priced, they are exchanged for better-valued issues. There is no overweight/underweight or closet indexing. If we don’t like a bond or a sector, we avoid it. If we really like a bond or sector we buy all we can, limited only by guidelines and prudence.

Central to our philosophy is that major imbalances in the relationships among individual bonds or sectors are caused by the ebb and flow of supply and demand/fear and greed. These are far more powerful factors than changes in fundamentals of investment-grade bonds. They are the causes of the market anomalies we capture.

The firm uses a team approach to managing portfolios. We stick to investment-grade bonds with no market timing and no currency speculation. We are a true value-oriented firm and are not bound by benchmark content for any assignment.
