Fixed Income

Portfolios invest primarily in tax-exempt municipal bonds utilizing a laddered structure. Taxable municipal bonds and municipal investment vehicles may also be eligible if relative value and risk parameters permit.

The two most significant risks in a fixed income portfolio are duration risk (a portfolio’s price sensitivity to changes in the general level of interest rates) and credit risk (the possibility of a loss resulting from a borrower’s failure to repay a loan or meet contractual obligations).

The short-term strategy is especially suited for the risk averse investor, those who in most cases, are willing to accept a modest amount of income for the most capital preservation (most duration protection) of the three strategies City Different Investments offers. The credit risk component (along with any of the risk parameters) of the strategies City Different Investments offers can be modified based on the client’s individual risk tolerances.
