Short Duration Municipal Bond Strategy

Our actively managed Short-Duration Municipal Bond Strategy seeks to outperform other short-term investment strategies such as money market funds and treasuries by carefully purchasing short-duration, high-quality, short-call municipal bonds that generate coupon interest. The strategy uses no leverage, nor does it invest in other investment vehicles such as mutual funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
