“The risk/return profile we have sought to maintain for the AlphaCentric Income Opportunities Fund set the stage for strong performance, and the housing and macro fundamentals we identified have bolstered the portfolio’s metrics even further,” says Brian Loo, portfolio manager of IOFIX. “We are encouraged by ongoing prospects for the Fund’s returns, even as the broader markets start to pose different degrees of volatility.”
