Strategy Goals

The objective of the strategy is to provide a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

A tax-advantaged version, which utilizes municipal bonds and tax-managed equities, is available for taxable investors.

Investment Philosophy

Diversification

Diversifying risks by asset class, security and fund manager may help to improve income stability.
Maintaining broad exposure across asset classes helps to create opportunities to exploit evolving sentiment in the CEF market.

Selection

Filtering helps to generate a sensible investable universe, omitting the most concentrated, leveraged, illiquid and unseasoned funds.
Systematic ranking of CEFs produces a consistent framework for selecting funds most aligned with the income mandate.

Execution

Liquidity-aware allocations and sensitivity to turnover limit implementation slippage.
Liquidity focused in-house trading team seeks to minimize trading impact.

Enhanced Income Core is offered by Parametric Investment & Overlay Strategies. For additional information please visit the Disclosure page.
