The Post Advisory Competitive Edge

Post's investment philosophy, disciplined investment process, active management style, experienced investment team, and commitment to high-touch client service have driven our success with clients over our more than 30 years in business.

We believe our competitive edge is our:

  • INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY:
    The foundation of our investment philosophy has remained consistent since the inception of the firm — a consistent focus on identifying what we perceive to be high-quality bonds and senior loan issuers whose balance sheets and business models can endure different kinds of volatility.

  • DISCIPLINED INVESTMENT PROCESS:
    Our disciplined investment process — from idea generation to credit research, to portfolio management and risk management — seeks to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns over a market cycle. Key parts of our process is of analyzing a company's business model and competitive advantages include the assessment of not only historical and projected quantitative credit metrics but also relative competitive positioning, underlying value drivers, and the incentives and motivations of its management team and equity owners.

  • TACTICAL PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION & POSITIONING:
    We take an active approach to portfolio management by applying a top-down macro and technical overlay that seeks to opportunistically position portfolios based on our view of the macro and market environment.

  • TEAM STRUCTURE:
    Our investment professionals (including portfolio managers) are primarily organized by industry, which we believe is consistent with a philosophy that prioritizes understanding credit risk. Each sector is generally covered by both a portfolio manager and credit analyst, which means there are two sets of eyes — and sometimes two different perspectives — on most investments we make. This structure, we feel, can contribute valuable analysis, insight, and perspective.

  • THINK LIKE AN OWNER:
    Senior professionals in both our front office and back office hold a minority interest in the firm, a structure that we believe can align the interests of our people with our clients.

  • EXPERIENCED AND DIVERSE INVESTMENT TEAM:
    Our investment team includes seasoned investors who come from different professional backgrounds, including private equity investing, hedge fund investing, long-only investing, distressed, consulting, and operational roles.

  • HIGH-PERFORMANCE CULTURE:
    We believe our high-performance culture, based on a strong work ethic, intellectual integrity, and a team approach, is critical to attracting, retaining, and motivating high-caliber talent.
