Financial Advisor – June 6, 2013
In today’s low interest rate environment, Brendan Clark prefers taking credit risk to taking duration risk in a fixed income portfolio. High yield bonds remain one of the better values in the bond market and are less interest-rate sensitive than Treasury bonds or investment-grade corporate debt.
Investment News – August 20, 2012
Brendan Clark says ETFs allow him to manage a fixed-income separately managed account portfolio dynamically. Using a relative-strength research process, he moves freely and sometimes quickly between exposure to high-yield and high-quality corporate bonds and short-term Treasuries.
Financial Planning – August 16, 2012
Brendan Clark recommends that planners hedge large corrections by treating volatility as an asset class that can be managed.

Market Watch – May 9, 2012
Harry Clark of Clark Capital Management Group says that this is not the May to “go away.” In fact, this may be the rare year where the market sets a bottom in May and starts a rally thereafter.
Seeking Alpha – May 3, 2012
Mr. Clark said that old adage of “Sell in May” does not hold up well in election years. Statistics show that the summer months provide a positive return 2/3rds of the time during an election year.
Wall Street Journal – March 5, 2012
Clark Capital’s Fixed Income Total Return strategy was highlighted in The Wall Street Journal. Clark Capital’s tactical approach manages the risk associated with the high yield space. The portfolio is seeing strong flows as investors are reaching for yield.

Is the Recession Receding?
Harry Clark, founder of Clark Capital Management, sees a continued upside for the Dow (and other market barometers like the S&P 500) into midsummer, followed by a retrenchment of up to 30 percent for three or four quarters before a rally into the elections of 2012. “The short-term market looks very nice here; factory orders are good and earnings are above expectations,” says the Gladwyne resident, who’s a frequent guest on CNBC. “That (at or near a top) is when the public starts buying hand over fist.”
