Bandon Capital Management
Bandon Capital Management is a Portland, Oregon based, private investment management firm founded to provide investment solutions to financial intermediaries that deliver non-correlated, absolute returns regardless of market direction. Bandon identifies institutional quality alternative strategies that can be translated and implemented using liquid, transparent securities and delivers these solutions in democratized vehicle structures. Bandon was created to address the underserved demand by financial advisors and their clients for investment solutions that deliver non-correlated, absolute returns regardless of market direction.
Democratized Alternatives?
After the tech bubble burst in early 2000 the institutional marketplace noted that alternatives had portfolio characteristics that were potentially valuable to their portfolios.
Bandon believes that those return characteristics are not only valuable but should not be relegated to the domain of the ultra-high net worth and large institution. Bandon has positioned itself as one of a handful of firms dedicated to provide alternative return characteristics to investors of all sizes.
Isolating Alpha
Identifying, isolated and delivering alpha to investors in a convenient delivery vehicle creates a variety of asset allocation opportunities. Traditional portfolios that are actively managed provide return characteristics that contain both beta and alpha.
Rising Interest Rates
In our view, only one thing about interest rates is certain: we cannot know how long they will remain at today's historic lows, or when they will increase. Whatever happens, one thing is clear: Now is a dangerous time to be complacent about the risks associated with rising interest rates and correspondingly investing in traditional fixed income products.
