Investment Philosophy

APA believes that persistent pricing inefficiencies exist in the municipal bond market, especially in the secondary market where the firm can be nimbler. They seek to capitalise on these inefficiencies to identify investment opportunities and create value through rigorous credit research, active portfolio management and relative-value trading discipline.

The APA Enhanced Intermediate strategy seeks to deliver a higher level of tax-exempt income through a diversified exposure to lower investment-grade rated municipal bonds and an intermediate duration structure. The strategy aims to take advantage of investment opportunities using relative-value and fundamental credit analysis to maximize total return. Investment opportunities are pursued through an investment process that has been in place for over 30 years.

Conducted thorough relative-value and fundamental credit analysis to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies in the market. Bottom-up fundamental credit research is the cornerstone of our approach to investing in lower-rated, higher-yielding municipals. We combine our credit research with an investment process that emphasizes risk management and relative-value investing to achieve competitive risk-adjusted returns.Provide ongoing internal analysis of credit quality and underlying fundamentals.
