Risk Management

Portfolio risk is systematically measured and budgeted across all portfolio decisions (credit, yield curve, duration, liquidity, etc.) based on our forecast confidence, return and risk expectations, and experience. No single decision dominates the contribution to risk or return.

Tax Management

To optimize a portfolio’s after-tax performance, a preference is given to in-state municipal bonds. The remaining balance would be invested in general market issues and those of other states that generate superior after-tax yields to client’s state of domicile.
