Investment Process

The firm’s economic overview and long-term fundamental valuations guide duration management targets set by the Fixed Income Team. The Fixed Income Team then establishes a current strategy for the portfolio, where securities are selected from a broad universe and meet specific valuation criteria. We use proprietary rating/ranking models extensively in our analysis. After securities are purchased, they are monitored on an ongoing basis and additional purchases or sales are evaluated as conditions and pricing dictate.

The Manning & Napier Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Composite is a weighted average of discretionary separately managed accounts with an Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond objective. Accounts in this composite must have a market value greater than $100,000 and tenure of at least one month under our management. The investment objective of accounts in this composite is to reduce reinvestment rate risk and seek to optimize returns, while reducing tax consequences through the use of municipal fixed income securities. Generally, Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond accounts invest in securities with a maximum maturity of ten years. Net-of-fee returns are based off of actual fees. They are after brokerage commissions, reinvested income, advisory fees, and if applicable, the fees of the Investor’s Personal Financial Advisor, but before custodian costs. Also, accounts subject to solicitation fees may incur as much as 0.15% in additional expenses. Fees will vary with size and circumstances and these fee differentials would impact returns accordingly. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All returns were earned in USD and are stated here in USD. All data are subject to revision. Performance for periods greater than one year is annualized.
