How this Strategy is Managed
Our highly diversified Short-Term Yield+ Strategy is built with individual municipals, corporates, treasuries, CDs, and individual stocks that have paid a dividend. Our investment team’s active management allows us to generate a higher current yield than cash instruments by taking advantage of interest rate volatility and companies with strong free cash flows and durable economic moats. In addition, constant monitoring of short-term yields and underlying macroeconomic environment guides us when determining portfolio positioning.
