Capital Management is an investment management and advisory firm specializing exclusively in the fixed income markets. Founded in 1998, our firm provides management of fixed income and cash portfolios for public and private sector retirement plans, municipalities, corporations, endowments and foundations. We are headquartered in the historic Guardian Building in downtown Detroit and maintain an office in Chicago.

Ambassador Capital Management's investment approach employs both fundamental and value techniques to best identify positive risk/reward opportunities and to maintain a consistent and disciplined approach. Our investment process is enhanced by our extensive use of quantitative analysis, including statistical and probability modeling. In addition, our partners are a seasoned team of portfolio managers that have extensive experience in managing investment grade fixed income portfolios. Ultimately, our goal is to build long-term partnerships with our clients based on trust and confidence, and enhanced through exceptional customer service and high-quality performance.

Capital Management’s investment philosophy is to produce performance consistency for our clients through the combined use of diversified strategies and disciplined analysis of the fixed income markets. Our investing style emphasizes the identification of long-term trends and favorable risk/return scenarios using multiple strategies throughout the fixed income markets.

A broad approach reduces our reliance on any one source of return generation. Discipline is maintained through our extensive use of proprietary analytical tools and set allocation ranges. In addition, we place a high degree of concentration on protecting the portfolio from downside risk, which we believe is an integral part of managing fixed income portfolios. Our overall investment objective is to add consistent value over time using numerous portfolio designs, while maintaining volatility, or risk, to a minimum.
