VFIA is an active bond manager who believes that the market offers potential opportunities for returns to investors who understand and correctly value Fixed Income securities. The firm focuses their management efforts on the bottom-up principle of security selection along with top-down strategies for sector allocation and yield curve structure using rigorous fundamental research as well as a series of proprietary and third-party tools to identify value. Their diversified portfolios of well-researched companies, value-added security structures and sector rotation seek to provide attractive spreads above the benchmark, regardless of the level or direction of interest rates, at controlled risk levels.

They emphasize diversity in asset classes, industry sectors and geographic boundaries and invest in a variety of domestic and international equity and debt securities, currencies, futures, forwards, options and other instruments.

MLGP's objective is to generate long-term capital gains, with a primary focus on control-oriented investments in equity, equity-related and similar securities with equity-like returns.

Their approach combines an intensive, bottom-up evaluation process including gaining a detailed understanding of a potential portfolio company's value drivers, management capabilities, cost structure, cash flow characteristics, market position and competitive advantages with a top-down analysis of the attractiveness, growth potential and underlying economics of the industry, competitive environment and exit alternatives. When making an investment, MLGPE takes a control-oriented approach and seeks to structure transactions to ensure the ability to influence critical decisions for a portfolio company, particularly as it relates to specific value-added initiatives.

MLGP implements value creation initiatives such as organic growth alternatives, acquisitions and other strategic initiatives, business rationalization and operational improvements and capital structure improvements in partnership with portfolio company management.
