Short Duration Capabilities

Bridging the gap between money market and traditional bond strategies

Our expertise

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC. recognizes that US investors may need investment solutions that provide incremental yield over money market funds. Our short duration solutions provide options that range a little further out on the yield curve for investors that have a slightly longer time horizon and can incur slightly greater volatility.

Strategy

We work with you to customize an investment strategy consistent with your risk and return goals, using the full range of money market securities and fixed income securities consistent with your investment guidelines.
