Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
To seek current income, long-term growth of capital and income and preservation of capital.
The fund allocates between debt and equity securities, screening for undervalued equities using fundamental analysis and financial models—targeting companies trading at discounts by price-to-book, price-to-earnings, or price-to-sales ratios and showing near-term catalysts for value realization—while its bond portfolio emphasizes investment-grade securities with up to 20% in below-investment-grade bonds to enhance income. The fund considers ESG factors alongside other investment criteria but may pursue an investment despite weaker ESG characteristics. Because manager selection of both equity and debt holdings depends on the manager's identification of value and catalysts, fund performance will diverge from broad market returns.

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.

| +25.31% | +55.25% | +49.98% | 9.22% | -5.68% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 8.16pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.63pp 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 | 81.9% |
| Floating rate | 16.9% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 1.2% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 1.5% |
| 1-3y | 2.8% |
| 3-5y | 12.4% |
| 5-10y | 24.8% |
| 10y+ | 58.5% |
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 | 57% |
| Credit spreads | 43% |
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 | +1.51 yr |
| High yield | +0.20 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 | 0.19 yr | 8% |
| 5 yr | 0.77 yr | 33% |
| 10 yr | 0.90 yr | 39% |
| 30 yr | 0.43 yr | 19% |
| 3 mo | 0.01 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.19 yr | 11% |
| 5 yr | 0.73 yr | 42% |
| 10 yr | 0.65 yr | 38% |
| 30 yr | 0.14 yr | 8% |
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.
