The Fixed Income Desk has been created to offer Cape Horn investors Fixed Income Portfolios tailored to meet requirements for income, capital preservation and liquidity

The investment Strategy seeks to optimise the incremental return provided over a bank deposit that satisfies an individual's incremental risk profile.

This incudes an assessment of the attractivness of junior ranking instruments in the issuer's capital structure (i.e. subordinate debt or preferred equity) to enhance returns.

Our research team undertakes a rigorous ongoing financial analysis of each fixed income issuer to ensure the ability to pay investors all scheduled income, plus face value at maturity.

Our Fixed Income team is lead by Damien Williamson. Damien joined Cape Horn Capital in Melbourne following two years at Tribecca as Chief Investment Officer.

Case studies

Liquidity event & tax liability

Mr Kennedy was the founder of a private mining company which he sold to a publicly listed company. This resulted in a large liquidity event for Mr Kennedy. He deposited funds into Cape Horn’s CMA wirh ANZ. Cape Horrn’s Fixed Income team constructed two portfolios for Mr Kennedy. The first, accounting for future tax liabilities and the second to provide an income stream with capital upside.

endowment funds

Mr Mandela is the CIO of an Australian University Endowment Fund which has a 40% allocation to Fixed Income as it relies on a regular income stream with capital upside. He awarded the Fixed Income mandate to Cape Horn, allowing them to manage the portfolio whilst adhering to agreed parameters.

Capital calls

Mrs Thatcher is the CIO of a large Family Office which has a noticable exposure to alternative assets. Due to the nature of these Private Equity & Venture Capital investments, outstanding capital on behalf of the Family Office is yet to be called by the investment firms. Our Fixed Income desk constructed a portfolio to allow Mrs Thatcher’s Family Office to earn an income stream whilst meeting liquidity requirements for outstanding capital calls in both AUD and USD.

Property settlement

Mrs Merkel had a seven month settlement for a new house purchase. Our Fixed Income team designed a portfdolio with maturity accomodating settlement.
