Fixed Income Fund Risk Management

Welcome back to the Quattro Capital blog, where we empower you with the knowledge to make confident, informed investment decisions.

Today, we’re exploring a topic that’s at the core of every investor’s peace of mind: risk management.

When it comes to fixed income funds, risk management is the key to both preserving and growing your capital. Let’s take a closer look at the strategies that keep your investments secure.

Here’s a hint: real assets significantly reduce risk.

Protecting Capital and Minimizing Risk

While every investment has risk, not all risks are created equally. 

With our fixed income fund, your investment is backed by income producing assets instead of paper potential that comes from stocks, startups, or speculation. That means our fixed income funds are designed for predictability, not volatility.

We focus on income, not appreciation, which helps reduce exposure to market swings.

Basic risk management for fixed income funds focus on the quality of the borrower, the structure of the loan, and the strength of the borrower. 

At Quattro, we go even farther to protect your capital and returns. We also assure physical assets stand behind your investment. We prefer more of a “belt AND suspenders” approach. The belt is the normal risk management and the suspenders is the additional collateral.

Your fixed income investment is secured by  income-producing assets like multifamily real estate and gold-backed investments. These are real assets that can be evaluated, valued, and managed with precision. Both have withstood time as two of the most trusted and enduring stores of value, offering strength and stability across economic cycles.

Key takeaway: Asset backed collateral adds a layer of additional protection  from market volatility which provides a clearer path toward consistent performance.

Conservative Loan-to-Value Ratios

A cornerstone of risk management is to built-in safety. 

Imagine lending money on a home worth $1 million, but only lending $650,000. That remaining $350,000 represents a built-in cushion of safety.

At Quattro, every position is underwritten with conservative loan-to-value (LTV) standards, typically between 60 and 75 percent of the asset’s value. This ensures that even if property values fluctuate, the collateral remains significantly higher than the loan itself.

This disciplined approach preserves both the asset’s stability and investor confidence. It’s a foundational part of how we protect capital every day.

Key takeaway: Conservative leverage protects principal and helps overcome changing market conditions.

Collateralized and Prioritized Positions

Not all loans are created equal. The difference between first and second position loans is like the difference between sitting in the driver’s seat or the back seat of a car, both reach the destination, but one has more control over the outcome.

Our funds invest in first and second position, income-producing loans tied to real estate projects that have been carefully reviewed by our acquisition and asset management teams. Many of these loans are made to properties within the Quattro portfolio, giving us direct visibility into operations, performance, and cash flow.

That insight allows us to actively monitor the asset and ensure investor capital remains well-secured. Each position generates contractual interest income that flows to the fund and ultimately to investors through simple or compound distributions.

Key takeaway: Priority positions and direct operational insight create stability through predictable, asset-backed income.

Diversification Across

Projects and Assets

No single investment should carry all the weight. Diversification spreads risk, but it doesn't eliminate it.

We allocate capital across multiple property types, sponsors, and geographic regions. We also include gold-backed investments, secured by physical gold reserves, to introduce an additional layer of protection that moves independently from real estate markets.

This structure balances security and performance, giving investors a resilient portfolio that performs in a variety of market conditions.

Key takeaway: Diversification across both real estate and gold-backed positions strengthens portfolio stability.

Alignment and Transparency

Alignment builds trust, and transparency keeps it.

At Quattro, our team invests alongside our investors. We share the same priorities: preserving principal, generating steady income, and maintaining open communication throughout every stage of the fund.

Our investors always know where their capital is, how it’s performing, and what to expect next.

Key takeaway: Alignment ensures accountability, and transparency builds lasting trust.

Managing Market and

Liquidity Risks

Markets evolve, and so do interest rates, lending conditions, and liquidity cycles. Successful investing is about adapting to the ever changing economic conditions.

We manage financial market risk by focusing on short-duration notes and yields that adjust with the market. This approach keeps returns competitive without overexposure to long-term volatility.

Liquidity risk is addressed through clarity and communication. Each fund has defined terms, and expectations are clearly set before capital is deployed. Throughout the investment period, we maintain dialogue with our investors so that timelines, returns, and options are always understood.

Key takeaway: Dynamic management and proactive communication help navigate changing markets with confidence.
