Why Advance selected Standish Mellon
Standish is an active manager that aims to outperform from a balanced focus on sector and country allocation, issue selection and duration/yield curve positioning strategies. We favour Standish’s disciplined investment process with its strong emphasis on risk control. The approach is team-based with an emphasis on bottom-up, fundamental research and analysis conducted by the sector strategists. Standish adds value through active sector allocation and credit migration strategies, rather than duration strategies. It combines both qualitative insight and quantitative inputs for each source of added value.
