Fixed Income

Whittier utilizes a rigorous relative value approach across markets, asset classes and security structures to identify attractive after-tax opportunities.

Fixed income managers typically focus on a single asset class – Whittier’s cross-market after-tax relative value approach provides potential for attractive arbitrage opportunities while increasing diversification. Whittier continually compares the after-tax risk-adjusted yield of CA tax-exempt munis, CA taxable munis, non-CA tax-exempt munis, non-CA taxable munis, corporate bonds, U.S. treasuries, U.S. agencies, and preferred stocks to identify the most attractive opportunities on an after-tax basis.

In addition to rigorous top-down macroeconomic analysis, performance is driven by identifying relative value across:

Securities
Issuers
Asset Classes
Maturities
Durations
Credit Ratings
Geography
Seniority
Callability
