Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The funds investment objective is to provide high total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with preservation of capital over the long term.

Strategy · summarised

The fund maintains a flexible allocation across equities, debt securities, and cash, adjusting the mix based on the investment adviser's assessment of relative value; it holds a diversified portfolio of common stocks, bonds including government securities, and money market instruments, with up to 15% in foreign equities and up to 25% of debt assets in lower-rated securities. The fund employs multiple portfolio managers, each overseeing segments of the portfolio and making security selections based on the adviser's judgment of long-term attractiveness and valuation. Because returns depend on the adviser's security selection decisions, fund performance will diverge from any benchmark.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Cumulative return· Apr 2023 – Feb 2026

Mar 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

This fund changed legal form during the period shown. The history above is continuous — it spans both eras, and the change is not a gap in reporting.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q1

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying a small fraction as much.

Interest-rate duration
1.80 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
0.59 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Interest rates75%
Credit spreads25%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Where the risk sits on the curve

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

3 mo is NEGATIVE (-0.02 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so it is not part of the band above.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
