Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. (SCM) serves as the investment adviser for the Shenkman Capital Short Duration High Income Fund (SCFFX), a mutual fund that seeks high current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective by investing primarily in short-duration, high-yield fixed income securities. The fund's portfolio includes high yield bonds, senior loans, securitized debt, and other below-investment-grade instruments with an average duration typically under three years; it employs active management strategies focused on credit selection, sector allocation, and risk control to navigate interest rate and credit market volatility. SCM offers this fund alongside other strategies such as the Shenkman Capital High Income Fund (SCINX) and institutional separate accounts targeting similar short-duration high yield opportunities. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, SCM was founded in 1985 by Steven N. Shenkman and manages over $10 billion in assets across its high yield bond funds and customized portfolios for institutional and high-net-worth clients. The firm operates primarily in the United States, serving target markets that include pension funds, endowments, financial advisors, and individual investors seeking income-oriented fixed income exposure with lower interest rate sensitivity. In recent developments, SCM announced enhancements to its short duration strategies in 2024 amid shifting rate environments, including expanded access to opportunistic senior loan allocations and refined ESG integration frameworks without altering the fund's core mandate; no major acquisitions, partnerships, or name changes have been reported for SCFFX or SCM in the last two years.
