PFMAM manages several fixed-income portfolios on a total return basis. They also implement liability-driven strategies that seek to generate cash flows from a portfolio of fixed-income securities to match specific liabilities such as bond-funded defeasance accounts, construction accounts and insurance liabilities. The firm uses top-down analysis to assess macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and current and historical yield spreads between sectors. It is a key element of their duration and sector allocation decision-making process. PFMAM utilizes a bottom-up approach to security selection that seeks to identify those industries and issuers with fundamental characteristics and financial strength that enhances their potential to perform well. They incorporate low-risk active management techniques designed to augment their relative value approach.
