The Hilton Capital Tactical Income Strategy ("Tactical Income”) seeks capital preservation with an emphasis on income generation as a key component to competitive total returns while minimizing risk and volatility.​

The asset allocation of Tactical Income is set between equities, preferred equities, fixed income and cash, with equities focused on what Hilton terms a “needs-based” stocks and sectors. In addition to the strategic asset allocation, Hilton performs deep diligence on individual securities in the portfolio to ensure we are invested in companies with strong balance sheets, consistent earnings and proven cash flow. It’s a balanced investment strategy that seeks to mitigate portfolio risk by creating a diversified portfolio of income producing securities that offer the potential for capital appreciation.

Prior to founding Hilton Capital, William Garvey was managing more than 100m in fixed income assets. It was during this period that he came to believe that he could maintain the stability of a fixed income portfolio while generating additional income and growth of principal with the addition of other income producing securities such as dividend paying common stocks and preferred equities, REITs and MLPs, among others. Thus, the Hilton Capital Tactical Income Strategy was born.

It’s important to understand that this is more than “picking stocks” to complement a fixed income portfolio. All potential investments are approached from a global macro-economic perspective, taking into account fiscal/monetary policy, interest rates, commodity pricing, government policy and general business conditions. Based on these perspectives, a top down analysis is assiduously applied to identify sectors and individual companies which fit the desired risk and income profile based on fundamental analysis of balance sheet, credit quality and income stability. In this process companies in which to invest are identified, as well as where in the capital structure investments will be made.
