Maximize Income Results - Linden Thomas & Company Yield Focused Fixed Income Management
As investors build wealth and move to their golden years of needing income and security, there is no better way of doing so than our yield focused fixed income portfolios. These portfolios are tailored and built specifically to our client’s needs. Unlike bond mutual funds where investors are pooled together (where you have pricing disadvantages, low yield to maturities, hidden fees, no transparency, or control), our private bond portfolios allow investors to access the best bonds available with the highest yield. This gives both retired investors great benefits.
Through Linden Thomas & Company's tailored yield-focused bond portfolio discipline, each portfolio is built and managed specifically to our client’s yield needs. Each portfolio security, whether corporate, municipal, or government bond, is purchased with a focus on maximizing yield and giving our affluent clients direct ownership.
The benefits of direct ownership include investor control, minimized annual cost, and maximized annual income. When income is maximized, this allows for higher compounding prior to and upon retirement and reduces the drawdown of equities. Fixed income also mitigates downside exposure to equities.
Unlike bond ETFs or mutual funds that aren't managed individually, they offer little benefit because of pooled investing. Our fixed-income tailored portfolios are built based on customers' unique needs. They are developed to maximize both yield and total return results. Because our private clients' bond portfolios are held in their accounts directly, income is paid directly. This has a benefit to both pre-retirement and retirement clients.
Pre-Retirement Benefits
Income is produced regularly and reinvested into other fixed-income securities to enhance compounded results.
Retirement Benefits
Income paid out monthly goes toward covering living expenses. This minimizes the need to draw down other areas of the portfolio like equities, giving retired investors potential for growth.
Linden Thomas & Company fixed-income portfolios fall into four categories:
- Investment-grade corporate bonds
- Yield focused corporate bonds
- Municipal bonds - tax free/taxable
- Government and government-backed bonds
