Basic Info

Investment Strategy
Appleton Partners' Strategic Municipal Crossover strategy seeks to increase after-tax portfolio yield and increase portfolio diversification by investing in both taxable and tax-exempt bonds. After-tax spread analysis is performed to identify individual bonds or areas of the yield curve where taxable bonds may offer enough incremental yield on an after tax basis to out-yield comparable municipal bonds. The exposure to a wider universe of risk factors also serves to dampen portfolio volatility and offers the potential for a higher risk-adjusted return than a pure asset class portfolio alone.
