The strategy focuses on securities with fewer natural buyers or instruments overlooked by traditional money market and intermediate bond fund managers. The team’s research and expertise helps capitalize on the resulting inefficiency within these segments of the fixed income market, thereby producing more attractive risk/return characteristics. Process The Ultra Short Duration process emphasizes mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The difficulty in analyzing these instruments produces inefficiencies and makes them attractive for active management. Our sector specialists employ a detailed and disciplined research process to evaluate and select those opportunities providing the most attractive risk/return characteristics. This unique approach helps produce a better return profile than the benchmark indices without unduly increasing the portfolio's risk. Objective Fort Washington Ultra Short Duration seeks to significantly outperform cash alternatives such as money market instruments, while adding just a small degree of price volatility.
