LTAM is a long-term investor that aims to construct a globally diversified portfolio based on strategic asset allocation. The firm uses a top-down approach, considering both a macro view of the economy and the markets, as well as a careful analysis of investment fundamentals.

Within the broad fixed income asset class, sub-set classes vary according to maturity/duration, type of issuer, and credit quality.
