Why fixed income

Bonds are not exciting. That is exactly why a long-term institution needs them.

Capital that does not need to be clever

High-quality bonds promise a known stream of income and the return of capital at maturity. Held carefully, they let the rest of the institution take a long view without being forced to sell at the wrong time.

How bonds would serve us

Three jobs fixed income would do for Jacob Decker

Preserving capital

High-quality, short and medium-term bonds would hold part of the company's capital where its value is steady and its return at maturity is clear.

Producing income

Regular coupon payments would provide predictable income that can be reinvested patiently, without depending on market timing.

Stabilising the whole

A steady base would let the more volatile horizons, from markets to ownership, be held through difficult periods rather than sold at the worst moment.

Our principles

How we would approach fixed income when the time comes

Two roles

Simple, patient, transparent

Preservation

A reserve that keeps part of the company's capital safe and available.

Shortmaturities

  • Highest-quality issuers only
  • Value steady through market stress
  • Available when opportunities appear
  • Reviewed against need, not yield

Income

Direction

A ladder of holdings producing predictable income over many years.

Ladderedmaturities

  • Coupons on a known timetable
  • Maturities spread across years
  • Reinvested patiently
  • Held to maturity by default
