Principal AM has divided their investment management operations into several unique boutiques. The equities boutiques render advice primarily for equity securities. They utilize internally generated fundamental research that focuses on bottom-up stock selection within a sophisticated comparative framework. The fixed income boutique renders advice primarily for debt securities. Their currency boutiques render advice for active and passive currency. Applying a fundamental-discretionary, macroeconomic theme-based investment approach to portfolio management, the strategies include absolute return as well as base currency hedging strategies.

Spectrum seeks to provide superior investment returns to investors in preferred and capital securities by employing a long-term, actively managed and diversified portfolio approach; emphasizing fundamental, qualitative and quantitative credit analyses to company and credit selection and relative value analysis to the individual security and sector selection; and taking advantage of the inefficiencies found in the various primary sectors of preferred and capital securities and junior subordinated debt securities.
