"Bramshill Income Performance Fund employs tactical value investing across five fixed income asset classes, dynamically managing duration and credit exposure to maximize risk-adjusted returns."

Executive Summary

The Bramshill Income Performance Fund employs a tactical, value-oriented approach to fixed income investing, dynamically rotating among five uncorrelated asset classes to maximize total return while managing downside risk. The fund seeks securities that are inexpensive relative to underlying risk across US corporate bonds, preferred securities, municipals, and Treasuries. With $1.09 billion in AUM, the strategy combines analytical risk-reward pricing models with fundamental credit analysis to identify relative value opportunities. The fund actively manages duration exposure, currently at 8.79 years, and maintains flexibility to rotate from historical lows of 1.6 years to highs of 8.4 years based on interest rate outlook. Credit selection focuses on securities with strong cash flows and asset backing, maintaining an investment grade composite rating while selectively investing up to 40% in high yield bonds. The fund has demonstrated resilience during equity market stress and rising rate environments through tactical positioning and strict risk management including stop-loss orders and concentration limits. Performance has been supported by the team's ability to identify forced trading opportunities and capitalize on credit spread dislocations.
