Fund Overview

The Fund seeks high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital.

WHY INVEST IN THIS FUND

The RiverPark Strategic Income Fund (RSIIX) seeks high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund is managed by Portfolio Manager, David K. Sherman.

The Fund focuses on constructing a bottom-up, diversified portfolio primarily in investment grade and high yield corporate debt, preferred stock, convertible bonds, bank loans, and income producing equities, with a target duration of 2.5 to 4.

The Fund will allocate assets strategically into investment grade or other defensive securities during times where we believe spreads are narrow and attractively priced high yield opportunities are limited, and conversely, may invest all of its assets in high yield securities when spreads are wide and offer potential attractive returns. In both cases, CrossingBridge seeks to invest primarily in debt where the enterprise value of the issuer exceeds the value of the issuer’s senior and equally ranked debt. The Fund may also make special situations investments in which a company is overleveraged, industry challenged, or faced with a company-specific issue. Ultimately, we believe we can be complementary and accretive to fixed income portfolios by remaining relatively small & capacity constrained, by investing opportunistically, and not focusing on tracking or beating a benchmark.
