Parametric Tax Optimized Ladders
Looking across corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and U.S. Treasury bonds we aim to purchase the highest-yielding securities based on the investor’s tax situation to create a laddered portfolio that best fits their needs.
Treasury Ladders
We seek to deliver predictable cash flow and capital preservation from high-quality US Treasuries.
How it works
Bond funds expose investors to interest rate risk and fluctuating returns, while individual bonds can lock investors into maturities. Bond laddering is a dynamic strategy that provides predictable income and benefits from rising interest rates.
To build a laddered portfolio of corporates or municipals, we equally weight investment-grade bonds by maturities along a defined segment of the yield curve. As bonds mature, their proceeds are reinvested into longer maturities, which typically have higher yields. Through continuous reinvestment in longer-dated bonds, the overall portfolio benefits from higher income during periods of rising rates.
