Standish Mellon Asset Management Co. is a dedicated fixed income manager that offers a wide range of cash, credit-based and specialty bond strategies. The firm is effectively split into three divisions: the Active Fixed Income Division, the Tax-Sensitive Fixed Income Division and the Stable Value Division. Standish’s Active Fixed Income investment process combines top-down, macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up research to identify attractive securities based on proprietary, fundamental research. Their top-down approach includes macroeconomic research to assess the overall risk environment, and determine broad portfolio themes, industry emphasis, and overall portfolio quality.

Their focus is to capitalize on yield anomalies among municipal and taxable sectors, identify undervalued securities, and pinpoint relative value between particular bonds.
