Our Process

Our investment philosophy revolves around the principle of Participate and Protect®. We strive to construct portfolios that participate as fully as possible in favorable markets, protect capital in difficult markets, provide stable income, and create consistent, long-term, value-added returns. This philosophy is executed with primary consideration of company- specific financial and operational drivers.
Our process begins by getting to know our client's needs before developing a tailored investment strategy that fits the insurer’s operational risk profile and aligns with their enterprise risk budget. Our proactive approach to investment management addresses the issues that continually confront our clients (i.e. cash flow demands, tax issues, impact of mark-to-market securities, risk-based capital, etc.). Portfolios are designed and implemented leveraging Madison’s robust investment capabilities across our fixed income, equity and multi-asset teams.
