Overview

Payden & Rygel is a privately owned corporation that acts primarily as an investment manager for both individual/family and institutional clients. The firm is SEC-registered (registered in 1983) and is organized as a multifaceted fund manager with a securitized-asset orientation. Its advisory scope covers separate account portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, management for pooled investment vehicles and investment companies, and portfolio services for businesses and institutions. Payden & Rygel also operates as a CPO/CTA. The firm charges a mix of percentage-of-AUM fees, fixed fees, and performance-based fees. Public filings indicate an active ESG posture and a strategic tilt toward fixed-income instruments; Payden & Rygel is not positioned as a capital allocator but as a manager executing across client mandates and pooled vehicles.
