Spotlight on Andy Penso

Mission Wealth Success Story

A fee and value conscious investor was reluctant to adopt a one-size fits all approach. Mission Wealth used alternatives in the Private Credit and Private Real Estate sectors in order to build a custom, high-yielding portfolio. Additionally, a portion went into Middle Market Loans to small and mid-cap companies. Both strategies utilized short-term and floating-rate loans with competitive risk-adjusted yields. These provided a nice compliment to an individual bond ladder, traditional high yield, and floating rate fixed income.
