“We are excited to partner with Claymore to make our innovative fixed income indexing methodology available to the investing public,” said Darrin DeCosta, Head of Product Development for Accretive. “This licensing arrangement reflects Accretive’s commitment to creating financial products that help financial advisors better serve their clients.”
Each BulletShares™ USD Corporate Bond Index tracks a diversified basket of bonds with the same annual maturity and is designed to have a cash flow profile similar to that of an individual held-to-maturity bond. Investment products based on BulletShares™ Indices can be used like individual bonds to create everything from simple laddered portfolios to highly customized portfolios that address the lifestyle-driven needs of particular investors.

“We developed the BulletShares™ indexing methodology based on feedback we received from financial advisors who told us they appreciated the customization and return of capital feature afforded by individual bonds, but were concerned about the concentration risk associated with investments in undiversified portfolios ,” said Mr. DeCosta. “We believe the BulletShares™ indexing methodology combines the best attributes of investing in bonds and bond funds.”
