Portfolio Construction

Portfolios are constructed with high quality; U.S. dollar-denominated securities rated investment grade or better at time of purchase. We give primary consideration to diverse, value-adding opportunities for you by using duration management, yield curve positioning, sector allocation, and security selection. We can and do make major shifts in our sector allocations to take advantage of short-term market conditions. Duration is closely managed to no more than 125% of the benchmark which allows us to take advantage of opportunities while managing volatility.
