philosophy

Cutwater provides institutional and retail investors with a suite of investment services ranging from money market vehicles to broad multi-sector fixed income strategies. Our business has been built over the years with a steadfast commitment to delivering a world-class combination of client service and investment performance.

Over the last 20 years, Cutwater has built a solid reputation and a strong track record in the marketplace. Our philosophy is based on a long-term approach to finding value in the fixed income markets. We believe having the right team working within a disciplined, robust investment process provides Cutwater and its clients with the best chance for success over time.

Cutwater's total return products offer an array of actively managed strategies designed to provide investors with competitive performance across the risk and maturity spectrum. Our investment philosophy and process support the management of all of our total return styles. The views of our investment strategy committee are used by portfolio managers to position exposures within specific product guidelines. Where appropriate, the three approaches of interest rate positioning, sector allocation and security selection are all utilized in the management of our total return products. This approach has helped us deliver on our goal of providing clients with consistently strong risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.
