Investment Style

  • Short-term
  • High-quality

Buy Strategy

When purchasing bonds, we:
  • Invest in high-quality debt instruments that help us maintain a duration between 1.0 and 3.5 years
  • Rotate among sectors in the government market, seeking the best relative values
  • Invest at least 80% of the portfolio in U.S. government securities

Sell Strategy

We will consider selling a security we own to:
  • Manage the portfolio's interest-rate sensitivity
  • Purchase securities that we believe offer greater total return potential than existing holdings
  • Realize gains in securities we believe are overpriced
