Approach
This strategy invests in fixed income sectors collateralized by distinct asset types: commercial real estate (CMBS), residential housing (RMBS), nonmortgage assets (ABS) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). We believe superior risk-adjusted returns are achieved through: recognition that relationships among alpha sources change, sometimes irrespective of the business cycle; fluid utilization of loan level research to discover unrecognized value ahead of consensus; and dynamic application of both macro and security-level investment inputs.
Key Benefits
- Skill of Team: Expertise of a veteran team that has the skill and ability to manage across the securitized spectrum, adjusting exposure to alpha drivers as market conditions change
- Integration of Platform: Integration into the broader MBS team, partnerships with the Voya Commercial Mortgage Loan and the Voya Senior Loan teams allows for deeper and direct insight to investment ideas
- Uniqueness of Approach: Our through the cycle approach focuses on consistency and risk-adjusted returns across market environments; not predicated on temporary dislocations

Disclosures
Principal Risk
All investments in bonds are subject to market risks. Bonds have fixed principal and return if held to maturity, but may fluctuate in the interim. Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. All investing involves risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainties of rates of return and yield inherent in investing. High Yield Securities, or "junk bonds", are rated lower than investment-grade bonds because there is a greater possibility that the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities. High-yield bonds may be subject to more Liquidity Risk than, for example, investment-grade bonds. This may mean that investors seeking to sell their bonds will not receive a price that reflects the true value of the bonds (based on the bond’s interest rate and creditworthiness of the company). High Yield Bonds are also subject to Economic Risk which describes the vulnerability of a bond to changes in the economy.
