Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The funds investment objective is to provide a high level of current income.

Strategy · summarised

The fund seeks high current income by investing across four primary debt sectors—high-yield corporate debt, investment-grade corporate debt, emerging market debt, and securitized debt—with allocations adjusted based on the adviser's assessment of relative value. The fund may hold substantial positions in below-investment-grade securities and securities tied to non-U.S. economies, and employs multiple portfolio managers who divide the portfolio into separately managed segments. Because security selection depends on the adviser's judgment about relative attractiveness, fund composition will vary with market conditions and the adviser's views.

Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.

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

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

Interest-rate duration
4.94 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
4.87 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.

≈ -10.0%
of value
Interest rates50%
Credit spreads50%

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 (-0.01 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.

Rate exposure by currency

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 4.94 yr.

USD+4.92 yr
EUR+0.02 yr

This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
