Strategic Credit Investing Made Simple with DEBIX

There was a time when you preferred aggressive investing—a growth-at-all-costs approach that relied heavily on high-quality exposure and a long-term focus. That was years ago.

Today, you’re sitting on a financial reserve that fuels security and peace of mind. With a nest egg built up, a growing family, and an imminent retirement, you’re rethinking those high-risk, high-reward strategies. You might even wonder, “How long will my money last?”

Congratulations—the most challenging part of the climb is behind you. Now’s your moment to consider shifting your portfolio from a volatile market into more low-risk investments that offer steady, reliable cash flow. Don’t worry—you’re not pulling all your money from growth opportunities (it’s still on the clock). Instead, you’re opening your mind to a strategy that is potentially more reliable.  

What is Fixed Income?

Fixed income refers to investments that provide regular, predictable payments over time, typically through interest payments. These are often considered lower-risk investments to the extent they focus on preserving capital and generating a steady income stream. For example, a popular type of fixed income investment includes treasury security bonds issued by the U.S. government that provide reliable interest payments with lower volatility.

Shelton Capital’s actively managed fixed income portfolios seek to generate total investment return and income, focused on the US investment grade and non-investment grade taxable and tax-exempt bond markets. The portfolio management team employs a thorough top-down and bottom-up research approach and believes that actively managing fixed income today requires us to have soundly developed views of economic and business cycles as well as interest rate and credit cycles. This unique approach to portfolio construction aims to generate differentiated above-market returns that are uncorrelated to market benchmarks.
