US Core Bond Strategy
Trillium offers a well-diversified, actively-managed, US-core bond strategy — managed for all market environments.
During portfolio construction, we develop a model portfolio, with a laddered approach, where we invest in issues across the duration spectrum in order to achieve our overall duration target. This may lead to differences in concentration at certain duration ranges depending on our target.
