1607 Capital employs a bottom-up, value-oriented approach in selecting closed-end funds based on a proprietary system. They begin their investment process with the collection of data on the universe of investable closed-end funds. The universe of funds generally will include exchange-traded closed-end funds, and other similar commingled investment companies, that invest primarily in domestic and international equities, fixed income products, and ETFs. The firm then uses top-down country and regional data to both confirm the bottom-up research and control risks.
