Benchmarks 
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index
benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS, and CMBS (agency and non-agency). Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index
Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index
the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index. The Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable, corporate and government related bond markets. It is composed of the US Corporate Index and a non- corporate component that includes foreign agencies, sovereigns, supranationals, and local authorities.
Intra-month cash flows from interest and principal payments contribute to monthly Index returns but are not reinvested at a short-term reinvestment rate between rebalance dates. At each rebalancing, cash is effectively reinvested into the returns universe for the following month so that Index results over two or more months reflect monthly compounding. One cannot invest directly in an Index. 
 
Performance
Gross returns are presented gross of management fees, custodial fees, and withholding taxes, but net of direct trading expenses.  Net-of-fee returns are net of actual investment management fees and direct trading expenses. All returns are based in U.S. dollars and computed using a time-weighted total return. Composite returns are asset weighted individual portfolios computed monthly. Returns for periods exceeding 12 months are annualized. The Dolan McEniry Core Plus Composite includes both price performance and coupon/dividend income as do the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends, interest and other earnings.  The Dolan McEniry performance reflected above is not necessarily indicative of future results and, as a composite of different accounts, does not necessarily reflect the exact performance of any specific account. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request.
