Corporate Bond Basket

What is a Basket?

It is an investment model that is managed by a professional portfolio manager on a discretionary basis in your brokerage account. You directly own its underlying securities and receive the dividends and/or interest paid.

Investment Strategy

For the most part, the Basket’s investment process is based on fundamental research. Security selection is based on knowledge of the company, its industry and its growth prospects. An extensive credit analysis for each security and an assessment of risk profiles, relative performance and general conditions are completed in order to confirm the selection and the relative weight of each component security. Your Investment Advisor may provide you with an Investment Policy Statement.
