Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Funds investment objective is to generate current income consistent with preservation of capital.
The fund actively selects fixed-income securities across developed and emerging markets, emphasizing non-U.S. issuers and holdings in at least three countries, with allocations adjusted based on the adviser's assessment of yield, credit quality, interest-rate sensitivity, and currency appreciation potential. The fund maintains at least 75% in investment-grade debt but may hold up to 25% in below-investment-grade securities. Because security selection depends on the adviser's discretionary judgments about relative value and economic conditions, fund returns will diverge from any benchmark.
| Share class | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|
| ANAGX | 0.79% | 0.78% |
| ANACX | 1.54% | 1.53% |
| ANAIX | 0.55% | 0.55% |
| ANAYX | 0.54% | 0.53% |
| ANAZX | 0.52% | 0.51% |
Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.

Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Bonds | 82.69% |
| Securitized | 30.09% |
| Cash & short-term | 2.12% |
| Derivatives | 0.41% |
| 2 smaller | 0.22% |
These positions come to 115.53% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 89.0% |
| Floating rate | 11.0% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 1.2% |
| 1-3y | 9.6% |
| 3-5y | 25.6% |
| 5-10y | 24.0% |
| 10y+ | 39.7% |
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 2026Q2
Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying a small fraction as much.
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.
| Interest rates | 76% |
| Credit spreads | 24% |
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 the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| Investment grade | +1.79 yr |
| High yield | +0.16 yr |
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 | 0.01 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.70 yr | 11% |
| 5 yr | 2.37 yr | 37% |
| 10 yr | 2.09 yr | 33% |
| 30 yr | 1.16 yr | 18% |
| 3 mo | 0.01 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.35 yr | 18% |
| 5 yr | 0.95 yr | 48% |
| 10 yr | 0.40 yr | 20% |
| 30 yr | 0.25 yr | 13% |
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.

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 6.33 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.
