Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek to maximize total return, consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity needs. Total return is comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade bonds rated BBB- or higher, or unrated securities deemed comparable in quality by its subadviser PGIM Fixed Income, which conducts top-down economic analysis and bottom-up issuer research to construct the portfolio. The subadviser targets an overall weighted average credit quality of A or better and maintains portfolio duration within 0.50 years of the Bloomberg US 5-10 Year Government/Credit Bond Index. Because individual securities may be downgraded after purchase, the fund's credit quality could fall below its A target, requiring the subadviser to take corrective action based on circumstances at that time.
| Share class | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|
| C000057623 | 0.73% | 0.69% |
Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.
Portfolio turnover 105.00% · as of 2026 Q2
Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Bonds | 63.80% |
| Securitized | 32.46% |
| Cash & short-term | 5.13% |
| Stocks | 1.81% |
| Derivatives | -0.27% |
Look-through blends 2 underlying funds; 1.306% of NAV was not looked through and stays direct-classified. The blend is as of 2026Q1, one or more quarters before the direct holdings (2026Q2).
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.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Other | 29.6% |
| Securitized | 19.5% |
| Government | 17.7% |
| Financials | 10.4% |
| 12 smaller | 22.7% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
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 | 85.0% |
| Floating rate | 10.4% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 4.6% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 2.2% |
| 1-3y | 6.1% |
| 3-5y | 17.3% |
| 5-10y | 44.3% |
| 10y+ | 29.8% |
| Unknown | 0.5% |
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 about half 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 | 66% |
| Credit spreads | 34% |
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 | +2.30 yr |
| High yield | +0.02 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 | 0.03 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.21 yr | 4% |
| 5 yr | 2.49 yr | 52% |
| 10 yr | 2.02 yr | 43% |
30 yr is NEGATIVE (-0.29 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so it is not part of the band above.
| 3 mo | 0.02 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.29 yr | 13% |
| 5 yr | 1.47 yr | 63% |
| 10 yr | 0.51 yr | 22% |
| 30 yr | 0.02 yr | 1% |
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.
