“Unconstrained”
What it isn’t…and why it really matters right now!
a long time
ago….in a
galaxy far
far
away……
All heck broke loose!
And a generation of excess came home to roost in the form of a nasty
debt, asset subordination and systemic leverage unwind
It was clear things would take a long time to normalize
And that fixed income investment management needed to adapt…….

Fast Forward to the Need
 The historic interest rate bull market is coming to an end
 Fiduciaries need a solution, a tool, to manage the next 5 years
 Hence the birth of “unconstrained” fixed income investing
 So there is no need to exit debt markets altogether

In reality there are multiple rulers which should be:
1) Prospectus flexibility = 10
2) Management philosophy = 7
3) Risk adjusted performance/positioning = Ideally an 8 or 9 with typically ½ the risk of other funds

Things Needed to be Truly “Unconstrained”
1. The ABILITY to manage the array of security types, sectors, markets etc.
+1 : the AGILITY to use your ability
2. The MINDSET to use all that flexibility
3. The WILL to implement it
(without commercial impediments of a product line-up)

Implications
1. The Fed and other central banks are behind and will be forced to raise
rates sooner than expected
2. Risk assets can and will rally further
3. If the interest rate environment is normalized in a deliberate step-wise
manner it does not have to be disorderly / disruptive to the real
economy or capital markets – but the broad bond market will still suffer
re-pricing
4. There is still time to adopt a defensive fixed income posture…but time is
running short

Core of Fixed Income Market ≠ Core of Fixed
Income Allocation
 Remember - the CORE is the foundational part, NOT a reflection of
fixed income issuance patterns which are driven by many forces
 We now have to address the other misconception: “the Core must be
generally stable or stationary”
 While this makes it easier to define and explain, it also results in our Core
being exposed to interest rate, credit and other cycles
 To avoid this, we have to continuously adjust our Core as the world
unfolds

Benchmarking- 2 Epic Fallacies
1.
Started out as a way to measure ex-post performance, then morphed into a way to
categorize investment managers becoming the ex-ante paradigm
 Now ALM drives Required Return, which drives asset allocation, and allocation drives
manager selection because you have to fit into a box to get funded.
2.
Desire to define manager risk via benchmark relative guidelines
 This is in complete contravention to the reality and logic:
 Increased concentration of risk factors
 Reduced manager diversification (all have to operate the same zones)
 And if you believe the opportunity set is non-stationary, and forced buying and
selling at ranges (guidelines) reduces tail risk; then the only logical conclusion is
that stationary rules in a non-stationary world must result in a lower, flatter
distribution of returns skewed to the left – and therefore a lower mean return with
higher risk over time – the exact anti-thesis of the goal.

24
The Result?
Investment guidelines and parameters are determined using this backwards logic,
resulting in:
 A construct of “beat the benchmark” not “make smart investments and earn
good risk adjusted returns”
 Limitations for managers: their latitude and tools to get out of the way of trouble
and capitalize on opportunity have been removed
 Concentrating risk factors
 Many guidelines are in % NAV space
 Assets, however, operate in risk factor space
 % NAV space ≠ % risk factor space

Simulated Backtest Disclosure
Diversified Liquid Alternatives simulated backtest results were derived from the retroactive application of a model and do
not represent actual investment performance or trading. Returns have not been reduced by trading costs which would be
charged if the adviser were actually managing client’s money. Returns have been reduced by an annual management
fee of 1.25% applied on a quarterly basis. The backtested results have inherent limitations as the results are derived from
the retroactive application of a model developed with the benefit of hindsight. Performance may not reflect the impact
that certain material economic and market factors might have had on the decision-making process if Anfield Capital
Management was actually managing client assets according to the model. The strategy could not have been
implemented before Jan 2011as this was the first date that the majority of the securities in the portfolio were available.
Beginning May 2014, Anfield Capital Management started managing actual client accounts according to the Diversified
Liquid Alternatives strategy

Composite Disclosures
Our portfolios have assets diversified among equity and equity related instruments, fixed income securities, and cash or cash equivalents.
Total Yield Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek to generate superior yields over cash investments by blending securities with
different sources of premium yield advantage over traditional cash, and to preserve capital by minimizing the risk of loss. The strategy
harvests meaningful yield spreads where they naturally occur and blends the primarily "spread duration risks" to achieve an optimum yield vs. liquidity
and risk. It is best thought of as substitute to conventional narrow cash management strategies and investments. The portfolio may invest in all sectors
of the fixed income market via primarily either ETFs or mutual funds. Prior to January 2012, the Total Yield Composite was called Capital Preservation
Composite.
Core Fixed Income Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek total return through a combination of income and price
appreciation. The strategy invests in a wide range of fixed income and related securities spanning all maturities, sectors and credit ratings. Our
portfolios have assets diversified among equity and equity related instruments, fixed income securities, and cash or cash equivalents. The target
equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically will consist of 100% of portfolio assets. This strategy may be appropriate for investors
seeking intermediate to long-term returns with risk similar to the broad U.S. bond market.
Income Plus Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek to total return through modest growth and a focus on income through investing
in a balanced portfolio of fixed income and related securities spanning all maturities, sectors and credit rating and diversified equity. The target
equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 20% of portfolio assets. This strategy may be appropriate for investors
seeking intermediate growth of capital combined with partial insulation from the impact of inflation.
Real Balanced Growth & Income includes all discretionary portfolios that seek to provide a blend of income and growth of capital through investing
in a balanced portfolio of diversified equity and fixed income securities. It emphasizes “real” returns - the growth of purchasing power over time. The
strategy also invests in inflation-linked instruments including but not limited to U.S. TIPS, commodities contracts, and REITS. The target equity allocation
of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 40% of portfolio assets. This portfolio may be appropriate for investors seeking intermediate to
long-term growth of capital combined with partial insulation from the impact of inflation.
Real Wealth Accumulation Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that emphasize growth of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of
primarily equities. The portfolio’s overall risk is tempered by allocations to fixed income and inflation-linked securities. The target equity allocation of
the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 60% of portfolio assets. This strategy may be appropriate for investors seeking intermediate to
long-term growth of capital combined with insulation from the impact of inflation.
Aggressive Real Growth Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek maximum capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio heavily
weighted to equities. The strategy’s overall risk is similar to the broad stock market. The portfolio also holds modest allocations of inflation-linked
securities. The target equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 80% of portfolio assets. This strategy may be
appropriate for investors seeking long to very long term growth of capital.
Diversified Equity Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek maximum capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio consisting
primarily of equity securities. The target equity allocation of the strategy will vary over time but typically consists of 100% of portfolio assets. The
portfolio’s overall risk is expected to be similar, on average and over time, to the broad stock market.
Diversified Liquid Alternatives Composite includes all discretionary portfolios that seek positive return over full market cycles by investing in a broad
spectrum of all asset classes. Tactical adjustments are made with the goal of reducing risk and increasing returns. The portfolio may invest in all
domestic and international asset classes, including but not limited to equity, debt, commodities, all categories of alternatives, real estate, etc. The
portfolio will look to invest in a diverse set of assets classes, typically ten different markets, sectors, and themes with a target of approximately 20 to 30
different positions, dependent on market conditions.
