How We Manage Risk

Our Approach to Risk Management

We understand what investors expect from their fixed income allocation – a defensive and stabilizing component of their portfolio. That’s why risk management underpins everything we do at RPIA. It’s embedded into all levels of decision-making to allow us to steward investor capital prudently across a wide range of circumstances.

Our goal is to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns in all market environments, with a focus on preserving capital so you can continue to meet your financial objectives. At RPIA, risk management isn’t just about protecting against downside risks – it’s also about aiming to ensure that return potential is matched with stability and security, so our clients can invest with confidence in our portfolios, our process, and our firm.

We believe in the value of transparency and collaboration, where team members across the firm actively engage in identifying and mitigating risks – not just within our portfolios but across the entire enterprise. At the portfolio level, risk management is deeply integrated into our investment process. Active management enables us to assess market liquidity, quickly detect changing conditions, and dynamically adjust our portfolios. 

Our Risk Team

Our Risk Management & Analytics team plays a critical role in this process, providing independent oversight on risk limits while also working collaboratively with the portfolio management team. Sitting on the trading floor, the team works closely with our portfolio managers, ensuring risk considerations are embedded into real-time decision-making. The Chief Risk Officer chairs the Risk Committee and is also a member of the Investment and Executive Committees, integrating risk management into both portfolio construction and the broader business strategy.
