The 11-page white paper covers:

• Potential flaws in balanced portfolios.
• The negative diversification effects of corporate bonds and the equity market.
• How, relative to corporate bonds, taxable municipal bonds have historically offered: similar returns,
• lower volatility and greater diversification.

"Due to their perceived lower risk and lower correlation to equities, investment grade bonds are traditionally used as a hedge against equity positions in balanced portfolios," said Todd Cohen, President and Chief Investment Officer of Community Capital Management. "However, investors may be exposing themselves to far greater fluctuation in returns since their portfolio may have higher exposure to the corporate capital structure than is optimal."
