What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks to provide investment results approximating the overall performance of the securities included in the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index).

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index using representative sampling, holding a portfolio of investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate bonds including Treasuries, government-related securities, corporates, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities in weightings that approximate the Index. Because the fund samples rather than holds all Index constituents, its quarterly performance may diverge from the Index. The fund may use U.S. Treasury futures to manage duration and interest rate risk.

Turnover is how much of the portfolio was replaced in a year.

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.

5.37 yr
approx. move per 100bp
2.99 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.

Interest rates64%
Credit spreads36%

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.

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.
