Implications and Investing Ideas for Today’s Markets
Consider these six active strategies to help clients focus on long-term goals and objectives, and not volatility.
Focus on the Fundamentals:
Navigator® High Dividend Equity
As we continue to see elevated levels of capital market volatility, high quality stocks may outperform their lower quality peers. Navigator® High Dividend Equity seeks to provide current income while investing in high quality companies that we believe will have the ability to achieve stable growth into the future.
Navigator® International ADR
International stocks are currently cheaper than U.S. securities and should benefit from relatively more accommodative central bank policy. Navigator® International ADR can help investors seeking global growth through disciplined, bottom-up stock selection.
Navigator® Taxable Fixed Income
As interest rates rise, we favor credit exposure over interest rate exposure. Navigator® Taxable Fixed Income can help investors get the most out of a flattening yield curve. Individual bonds can be held to maturity, generating cash flow and returns.
Take a Tactical Approach:
Navigator® Fixed Income Total Return
As interest rates change, we believe investors may benefit from a quantitative approach. Navigator® Fixed Income Total Return targets opportunities and manages risks in fixed income.
Navigator® U.S. Style Opportunity
As the equity markets ebb and flow through a cycle, individual market styles and capitalization within the economy perform differently. With the ability to allocate between small, mid, and large cap stocks, Navigator® U.S. Style Opportunity can allocate to the areas of the market we believe to be the most rewarding.
Navigator® MultiStrategy
Combining our Navigator® Fixed Income Total Return and Navigator® U.S. Style Opportunity strategies can help investors access a variety of growth opportunities while guarding against undue risk. The strategy is available in three equity/fixed income allocations: 75/25, 50/50, 25/75.
