Ladder PLUS

STEEPED IN TRADITION, OVERLAID WITH OPPORTUNITY
The strategy directive for Ladder PLUS™ is income and safety, which has historically been a passive approach. Our laddered strategy contains an opportunistic overlay, injecting new life into one of the oldest fixed income strategies known to the investing community.

Securities employed in this strategy include tax-free municipal bonds. The strategy does not utilize bonds that are subject to AMT. The average credit rating is AA, however, we may purchase securities that may be non-rated or rated outside the average credit rating.

The strategy can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the investor.

3-17 Year Ladder

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CURVE
The strategy directive for the 3-17 Year Ladder™ strategy is income and preservation of principal. We strive to maximize risk-adjusted returns through the construction of higher quality, separately managed portfolios.

Securities used in this strategy include tax-free municipal bonds. We do not buy bonds subject to AMT. The maturity band we generally utilize is 3-17 years, which allows us to pick up a bit more yield without having to take on additional credit risk. Diversification has been a staple of our success; hence this strategy uses a wide variety of structures, purposes and sectors.

We do not subscribe to the buy and hold mentality, but to the belief that everything is for sale at a price.


Cash Management

SHORT AND SWEET
The objective of the Cash Management strategy is income and safety, with a passive approach. The goal of this strategy is to produce yields above a traditional money-market offering. We use securities maturing in 13 months or less, with the goal of reducing volatility while providing income. The average credit rating is AA, however, we will on occasion buy securities that may be non-rated or rated other than the average. Cash Management employs a wide variety of structures, purposes and sectors to maintain diversification.
