CSAM-D aims to create value for shareholders by taking advantage of their global integrated network, actively managing funds across asset classes, geographic regions, sectors and strategies.

CSAM-D also runs liquidity funds, rated by Standard and Poor's, which offer active daily liquidity management, with same-day settlement. Their balanced products operate at the domestic, international and global level. The firm manages their portfolios against specific benchmarks.

On the fixed-income side, the firm specializes in total-return and benchmark concepts in government bonds, mortgage bonds, financial bonds and corporate bonds. JBG&Co's investment approach is based on modern portfolio theory with a long-term outlook. The investment process is research-driven and bases decisions on quantitative data analysis and qualitative fundamental research.
