Absolute Return
Fixed Income

Baker Gilmore’s Absolute Return Strategy provides
an “all-weather” solution focused on producing
positive returns regardless of the macro
environment and underlying market direction.

This strategy provides an alternative solution for investors concerned
with rising interest rates, while allowing them to maintain exposure to
fixed income securities that can provide a source of capital
preservation in the event of challenging equity market environments.

 

While offering portfolio diversification and low correlation to
traditional asset classes, our Absolute Return Strategy also provides a
more liquid source of diversification than that of popular illiquid
private market investments.
