Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The Funds investment objective is to seek to maximize total return.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests primarily in mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury obligations rated investment grade or higher, along with other fixed income instruments, and employs duration management through derivatives to maintain a portfolio effective duration between one and eight years. The fund may invest up to one-third of assets in below-investment-grade bonds, bank loans, and credit derivatives, and may use leverage, short sales, and other derivatives to adjust duration or gain long or short exposures. Because the fund's effective duration may vary materially from its target range, portfolio returns will fluctuate with interest rate movements and mortgage prepayment behavior in ways the duration target may not fully capture.

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.

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

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
4.04 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
4.06 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.

≈ -8.0%
of value
Credit spreads50%
Interest rates50%

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.

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

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.
