BALANCED
MEETING the INDIVIDUAL NEEDS of INVESTORS

The Eagle Balanced program combines the capital appreciation potential of stocks and the income and relative stability of bonds in a single portfolio. The two components of the portfolio are regularly reviewed and rebalanced to maintain a client's selected allocation. If rising stock prices increase the equity portion of the portfolio, Eagle sells stocks and reinvests in bonds to supplement the fixed income portion. Conversely, when stock prices decline, raising the percentage of fixed income securities in a portfolio, we sell bonds and reinvest the proceeds in stocks.
