Fixed Income

Wingate ("WAML") has managed fixed income strategies for public and private institutions, as well as for high-net-worth families. Our fixed income approach can be summarized in one sentence: We purchase durable credits* when they are available at attractive yields. We offer taxable, tax-exempt, and inflation-indexed strategies that are grounded in our unique investment philosophy and valuation methodology, designed to generate attractive long-term returns.

Our investment philosophy is built on the following key insights:

  • Credit valuations across fixed income sectors historically offer compensation in excess of default-driven losses.
  • Credit spreads are more volatile than is justified by their underlying fundamentals, providing a fertile environment for active management.
  • We believe a patient, long-term approach is necessary to deliver peer-leading total returns.

Our strategy focuses on debt issuers in major market sectors, including:

  • Corporate debt
  • Asset-backed securities
  • Commercial mortgage-backed securities
  • Municipal bonds
  • Inflation-indexed securities
  • Federal agencies
  • Agency mortgage-backed securities
  • U.S. Treasuries
