Intermediate Core Bond 

The Crawford Intermediate Core Bond Strategy seeks to provide a high level of current income while managing portfolio risk.

Investment Philosophy

  • Capital preservation and income production are the primary motivations for investing in high-grade bonds
  • Portfolio diversification is the foundation of the professional portfolio management process
    – Diversification among and within fixed income sectors to reduce credit risk
    – A modified ladder maturity distribution helps mitigate interest rate and reinvestment risk
  •  The timing and magnitude of interest rate changes is extremely difficult to predict
  • Available via Separately Managed Account and Sub-Advisory
