Two classes of securities are used as the building blocks of the portfolio. First, high quality, short duration securities (such as Treasury notes) are purchased. Then, longer maturity securities are added (such as long-term corporate and treasury bonds) to add incremental yield to the portfolio. Click here for more information.
