Overview: Our focus in selecting fixed income securities is primarily on credit quality and cash flow, with secondary focus on yield generation. We believe that fixed income provides a strong foundation to a balanced portfolio, therefore we reduce risk by investing in companies with low default risk. Taxable bond portfolios are constructed using either US Treasuries or investment grade corporate bonds. We currently favor corporate bonds due to the low returns offered by US Treasuries. Tax free bond portfolios are constructed using high quality municipal bonds from the state in which the client resides.

* WWM represents total taxable fixed income composite returns. Returns are net of weighted average of management fees for accounts in the composite and all transaction costs. All portfolios with a 20% or greater allocation to fixed income are included in the composite. The composite return is calculated as the return of the fixed income securities within these portfolios. Portfolios with municipal bonds are excluded from the composite. Cash balances are excluded from return calculations. The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index is a broad investment grade bond index that includes US Government bonds, US Agency bonds, and investment grade corporate bonds. The Merrill Lynch US Government Bond index includes US Treasury notes and bonds with maturities ranging from 1 to 15+ years. The Barclays Capital US Corporate Investment Grade Bond Index covers all publicly issued, fixed rate, nonconvertible, investment grade debt. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
