Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Fund seeks to obtain maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital.
The fund invests at least 80% of assets in bonds selected through bottom-up analysis of yield, credit quality, liquidity, and capital appreciation potential, targeting a weighted average effective duration within 30% of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. High-yield bonds may comprise up to 35% of net assets, though expected to remain below 20% under normal conditions. Because security selection depends on the portfolio manager's assessment of individual opportunities rather than index constituents, fund holdings and returns may diverge from the benchmark.

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

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -20.79% | -50.62% | -73.82% | 3.43% | -50.62% | |
| -8.49% | -23.58% | -45.77% | 3.46% | -23.58% | |
| +4.32% | +12.70% | +3.72% | 3.46% | -5.61% | |
| +3.93% | +11.80% | +2.31% | 3.45% | -5.65% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 77.55pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 15.51pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-04-30
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 | 83.9% |
| Floating rate | 16.0% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 0.9% |
| 1-3y | 12.6% |
| 3-5y | 16.3% |
| 5-10y | 29.1% |
| 10y+ | 41.1% |
Based on what filers reported; a filer that never reported a flag also reads as none.
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 nearly 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 | 59% |
| Credit spreads | 41% |
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 | +3.94 yr |
| High yield | +0.33 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 | 0.37 yr | 6% |
| 5 yr | 1.34 yr | 22% |
| 10 yr | 2.35 yr | 39% |
| 30 yr | 1.97 yr | 33% |
| 3 mo | 0.02 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.26 yr | 6% |
| 5 yr | 1.66 yr | 39% |
| 10 yr | 1.74 yr | 41% |
| 30 yr | 0.59 yr | 14% |
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.
