Enhanced Cash

The Crawford Enhanced Cash Strategy seeks to provide tax-exempt money market funds when a more permanent allocation to cash is warranted.

Style Investment Grade Short Duration
Emphasis High Quality, Diversification, Essential Services
Inception 07/01/2008

Investment Philosophy

01
The targeted distinguishing feature for the portfolio is an extremely short call or redemption provision
02
In addition to short callable bonds, municipal bonds with short-term final maturity dates are utilized to balance out the Enhanced Cash portfolio
03
The municipal market is inefficient and many issues are not called on the first available call date
04
As a bond migrates past the first call date, the yield earned (on cost) rises
Municipal investment-grade issues: 600,000+
Essential Service/Tax-Backed Issuers, Ultra-Short Effective Maturity
Relative Value Identification and Fundamental Research
Alternative to Tax-Exempt Money Funds
Portfolio Construction Includes up to 20 Issues
Strategy Overview

Investment Process
