We believe 2021 will be another favorable year for convertibles and remain a compelling asset class, especially for those that have re-examined their allocation framework and appetite for risk given the rollercoaster ride of 2020.

The first issue of Palisade's new Deep Dive Series explores small-cap banks. The banking industry is at the heart of the American economy, and small-cap banks are at the intersection of Wall Street and Main Street.
As investors search for solutions to help meet their risk and return objectives in these uncertain times, Palisade believes concentrated equity portfolios of high-quality issuers offer a compelling approach to achieve long-term investment objectives. Investors should not underestimate the role of individual companies within a portfolio or believe all risk can be avoided through diversification. Instead, investors seeking long-term return should consider allocating some portion of their assets to concentrated strategies that allow individual companies to drive portfolio performance.
