Investment philosophy and process
Greystone is a risk-conscious manager using a growth-style in its equity selection and interest rate anticipation in its fixed income portfolios.
In its equity portfolios, Greystone seeks to add value primarily through bottom-up stock selection. The firm believes that a company’s ability to grow its earnings will enhance the long-term value of its stock. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in the stock selection process.
In its fixed income portfolios, Greystone seeks to add value primarily through interest rate anticipation, yield curve positioning, sector selection and active trading. Portfolios are constructed across the yield curve, covering all major sectors of the bond market, including government and corporate issuers.
