Why Advance selected Standish Mellon

Standish Mellon's process is disciplined with a 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. The sectors are: US investment grade credit, non-US investment grade credit, structured finance, global high yield and emerging market debt. The primary source of value-add comes from active sector allocation and credit migration strategies. The manager does not seek to add value through duration strategies. It combines both qualitative insight and quantitative inputs for each source of added value.
