Hyperion Brookfield Asset Management, Inc.
 Hyperion Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance The cornerstone of Hyperion's investment philosophy is relative value. They endeavor to identify relative value anomalies that exist both between sectors and among individual securities through analysis of information from global macroeconomic rends to security specific data. Their process encompasses in depth credit evaluation and quantitative analysis. The firm's core fixed-income strategy focuses on relative value opportunities among the major fixed income sectors. Value is derived primarily from sector rotation and security selection decisions, based on relative value analysis. Additionally, yield curve, duration management and credit quality decisions enhance the relative value process. This strategy focuses exclusively on investment-grade securities. The objective of their MBS strategy is to deliver enhanced risk and return exposure versus the fixed-rate MBS portion of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate index. The strategy's primary focus is on relative value opportunities among MBSs, varying holdings by agency loan program, coupon and seasoning. In addition, they utilize non-MBSs to take advantage of enhanced relative value or temporary dislocations in basis relationships. Occasionally, limited short-term duration management is also utilized. Hyperion's credit MBS strategy is dedicated to higher yielding non-Agency MBS, commercial MBSs and ABSs. This strategy is centered on security selection and the allocation among credit rating classes. | Chairman | 02/03/2010 |
