Our Process
Our credit process, focused specifically on short-term liquidity investments, is designed to help identify default risks and continuously assess the suitability of eligible investments, with the primary objectives of preserving principal and ensuring liquidity.

Analysts monitor credits for changes to risk profile and suggest modifications to the Approved Credit List as part of the process to help mitigate credit risk throughout the business cycle. Our proprietary credit model is an integral part of our investment management process.
