Corporate High Yield

 

The Hyperion Brookfield High Yield Strategy seeks to provide investors with consistent returns across the broad corporate high yield market. The objective is to provide these returns with less than market volatility over a credit market cycle. The key component of the strategy is to capture the yield advantage that the asset class offers, while minimizing losses associated with credit distress.

Our general philosophy is centered around capturing yield with a focus on preservation of capital. We do that by building highly diversified portfolios with rigorous surveillance processes that provide a system of checks and balances to evaluate risks in the portfolios. Our diversification tends to increase as our assessment of risk increases. We have a bias toward building portfolios with core holdings that are higher quality to provide a stable base for income, and then taking advantage of opportunities in markets where we see value.

Hyperion Brookfield’s process focuses on sector allocation, extensive research of solvent corporate credits at the security level by our highly experienced team, prudent portfolio construction and rigorous risk control through a dedicated surveillance process. Portfolios are tailored to clients’ risk preferences and may range from conservative B and BB rated portfolios to the broader spectrum of high yield credits, including CCC rated securities. Our investment strategy emphasizes the preservation of capital, focusing on longer-term credit prospects and diversified portfolio holdings.
