Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Hoisington Investment Management?
Van R. Hoisington is the founder and Chairman. Chief Economist Lacy H. Hunt drives the macro framework that underpins all portfolio decisions (public record). Day-to-day portfolio management is not assigned to named individuals in public disclosures.
How does Hoisington's investment strategy differ from other fixed-income managers?
Hoisington focuses almost exclusively on long-duration U.S. Treasury securities, often maintaining significantly longer duration exposure than benchmark indices. The firm does not invest in corporate credit, mortgage-backed securities, or other spread products, making it a pure-expression macro bet rather than a diversified income manager.
Does Hoisington Investment Management manage assets for external clients?
Yes, the firm operates as a registered investment advisor and has historically managed assets for institutional clients, including some public pension funds, as well as high-net-worth individuals. However, the firm does not disclose its client base or minimum investment thresholds.
What is the role of Lacy H. Hunt at Hoisington?
Lacy H. Hunt serves as Chief Economist and has been the public intellectual force behind the firm's deflationary thesis. He publishes quarterly reviews and appears in financial media to articulate the macro rationale for long-duration Treasury exposure (public record).
How has Hoisington performed during rising interest rate environments?
Because Hoisington maintains long-duration portfolios, periods of rapidly rising interest rates, such as 2022, caused significant capital losses. The firm's performance has historically rebounded during falling-rate cycles, consistent with its duration-contrarian approach (per the Wall Street Journal, 2022).
