How to Diversify High Yield SMA’s for Offshore and U.S. Investors with Pacific Income Advisors

1 CE Credit
No future lessons/sessions currently scheduled.

For years, non-institutional offshore investors have faced a frustrating reality when investing in High Yield: to get diversified exposure, they were often pushed into pooled vehicles, most commonly mutual funds, where transparency, customization, and control can be limited.

This webcast starts with education. We’ll demystify the High Yield bond market, how returns are driven by income, spreads, and credit fundamentals, and why “High Yield” is not one uniform market. We’ll then explain Regulation S (Reg S) and 144A bonds, how they’re issued, who they’re designed for, and what matters in practice for offshore investors, including liquidity, pricing, and settlement.

Building on that foundation, Pacific Income Advisers, an early innovator in SMA Completion Funds, has collaborated with inCadense, a global managed accounts platform, to develop diversified High Yield SMA strategies that go beyond registered-only bond exposure by incorporating Reg S and 144A securities. The result is a modern SMA structure with clear holdings visibility, mandate flexibility, and practical account minimums.
