GH&A aims to outperform the benchmark, net of fees, over a full market cycle using a high-quality strategy with less risk and an ESG focus. The firm’s investment strategies incorporate domestic, high-quality fixed income securities in single asset class portfolios and generally include securities either traded on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. They attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the financial condition and management of the company itself) to determine if the company is underpriced (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be time to sell).
