A window of opportunity.

As we put the credit crisis behind us and look ahead to a gradual recovery, we are pleased to reflect that the fixed income opportunities we identified earlier in the year did in fact help to lead us out of the second-worst economic period in history. We will expand on our belief that the U.S. credit markets continue to offer value for appropriate investors.

  The credit and liquidity crisis has improved significantly, and the U.S. economy has bottomed
  Corporate credit markets remain attractive
  Bond prices remain below historical averages
  The credit market is discounting for defaults at current levels, and we see an improving trend in default rates
