GRIOX
Greenspring Income Opportunities Fund
HIGHLIGHTS
Seeking Attractive Risk-Adjusted Returns
The Greenspring Income Opportunities Fund (GRIOX) focuses on short-duration high-yield bonds. Its goal is to generate a high level of current income while seeking to reduce volatility and minimize risk, alongside the potential for capital appreciation.
Disciplined Research Process and Risk Management
We employ a fundamentally driven research process, focused on identifying securities with attractive yields and limited downside. The combination of careful security selection, limited duration and thoughtful portfolio construction is designed to mitigate risk.
Experienced Management Team
The Fund is managed by Corbyn Investment Management, who has extensive experience investing in the fixed income markets throughout numerous market cycles. We believe we can effectively navigate the fixed income credit market, by carefully selecting those short-duration high-yield securities that will provide a favorable risk and return profile.
Complement to an Overall Fixed Income Portfolio
We believe GRIOX can serve as a core part of a high-quality bond portfolio throughout market and interest rate cycles, while demonstrating less correlation to many other fixed income strategies.
