Fixed Income: A Steady Stream of Income

The purpose of yield-oriented investments in a Balanced Account is to reduce volatility and risk while providing an underlying base of consistent returns to the portfolio.

Two Approaches to Fixed Income

To accomplish the fixed income strategy we place a tremendous emphasis on quality, paying close attention to the strength of the bond issuer, buying only investment-grade issues, and maintaining diversification across industry sectors and issuers. This aims to provide greater stability within the portfolio and the opportunity for a more dependable source of portfolio income.
