Structured NotesIncome & growth

Structured Notes Composite: The Structured Note strategy is designed to optimize risk-adjusted returns through a combination of callable yield notes and callable growth notes. Our structured note composite targets tenors ranging from 12 months to five years, with the most widely used structure being a 3-year term. Notes within this strategy typically include a “no-call” period of between 3 and 12 months, providing a minimum holding window before the issuer can call the note early. This strategy combines both callable yield notes and callable growth notes with objectives of providing income and growth and looks to return an average of 12% return per year when annualized over periods 5 years or longer. The strategy may experience losses as it is subject to market risk, interest rate risk, and other economic risks that may influence the returns of this strategy. The Structured Notes composite is compared against the 40% S&P 500 (TR) & 30% Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill & 30% Bloomberg US Agg Bond. The Structured Notes composite has a minimum of $1,000.

Calculation & fees

Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

For fee-paying portfolios, net-of-fee returns are reduced by trading costs and each portfolio’s actual investment management fee. Non-fee-paying accounts were reduced by a model fee. The model fee is the highest investment management fee that may be charged for this composite. The annual model management fee is applied on a monthly basis, by deducting 1/12th of the model fee from the monthly gross returns.
