10 Years, Built Differently
PMs Henry Song and Mark Jackson discuss the core tenets of their philosophy and process—and how these tenets endure across different market environments.
Strategy Highlights
Emphasis On Securitized AssetsWe focus on securitized products as we believe this inefficient market provides more opportunities to achieve higher credit quality while maintaining a yield advantage.
Long-Standing ExpertiseThe fixed income team now has a 10-year track record at Diamond Hill.
Growing AUMThe Short Duration Securitized Bond and Core Bond strategies have grown to nearly $10B in combined AUM (as of June 30, 2026), but capacity remains in these and our other fixed income offerings.
Securitized SpecialistsOur collaborative Columbus, Ohio-based team has deep expertise in securitized markets, averaging 14 years of investment experience.

Risk Disclosures
In general, when interest rates rise, fixed income values fall. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. The securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties and become more volatile and/or illiquid. They are also subject to prepayment risk, which occurs when mortgage holders refinance or repay loans sooner than expected, creating an early return of principal to loan holders.
