ixed income is all about numbers, so it was the natural career choice for me. I enjoy the math. Prior to founding Cypress Asset Management in 1995, I served as Director of U.S. Fixed Income at Smith Barney Capital Management (1989-1995). At Smith Barney, I was responsible for over $5Billion in client assets.

Before joining Smith Barney, I was employed at Lehman Management Company (now Ark Asset Management), where I jointly developed the Lehman indices (1978-1989). As the industry was maturing through the use of benchmarks for comparative performance purposes, I was able to make a contribution to the industry's standards.

At Cutler, I am able to use my background to assist individual clients to structure their portfolios to meet their income needs. I am proud as punch to compare my performance to my peers, in my quest to "beat the Lehman Index".
