Standish Mellon Asset Management Co. is a dedicated fixed income manager that offers a wide range of cash, credit-based and specialty bond strategies. The firm is effectively split into three divisions: the Active Fixed Income Division, the Tax-Sensitive Fixed Income Division and the Stable Value Division. Standish’s Active Fixed Income investment process combines top-down, macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up research to identify attractive securities based on proprietary, fundamental research. Their top-down approach includes macroeconomic research to assess the overall risk environment, and determine broad portfolio themes, industry emphasis, and overall portfolio quality. Standish’s Tax-Sensitive Fixed Income approach has an objective of achieving a high after-tax return on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis versus the benchmark. Their investment process emphasizes the identification of undervalued sectors and securities in the municipal and taxable bond markets. Their focus is to capitalize on yield anomalies among municipal and taxable sectors, identify undervalued securities, and pinpoint relative value between particular bonds. Standish's Stable Value investment process is marked by four key characteristics: a risk-averse style; a disciplined, quantitative approach; a flexible model; and opportunistic management. The objective is preservation of principal and the delivery of stable returns over time.
