AEGON maintains a low turnover rate.

40/86 primarily invests client’s assets in multiple classes of fixed income securities and investments. The firm builds each portfolio from the bottom-up by selecting undervalued securities through proprietary, independent research. They place an emphasis on relative value, looking for opportunities where the market price of a security does not appropriately reflect its intrinsic value. The objective is to invest in those securities that the firm believes are undervalued and then sell them when they become fully valued in the market. 40/86 also perform a top-down asset allocation and performance attribution analysis. The firm’s portfolio managers have decision-making authority over investment decisions.
