generating strong, sustainable cash flows that enables them to de-lever their balance sheets and improve their ratings. NCRAM follows an investment decision making process that follows three basic steps: (1) idea generation where NCRAM seeks to identify trends in the market or situations where bond prices differ from fundamental risks; (2) credit research where NCRAM analyzes business risk, financial risk, bond deal structure, and sustainability risk; and (3) portfolio construction, where NCRAM considers the top-down attributes of the portfolios, especially the ratings, industry and duration posture, while choosing investments driven by bottom-up fundamental research.
