Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The investment objective of the Bridge Builder Core Plus Bond Fund (the Fund or the Core Plus Bond Fund) is to provide total return (capital appreciation plus income).

Strategy · summarised

The fund is managed by multiple sub-advisers who make day-to-day investment decisions across fixed income sectors including U.S. government and corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, convertible securities, bank loans, and inflation-linked bonds, with allocations to high-yield and unrated securities that sub-advisers deem comparable in quality to investment-grade instruments. Each sub-adviser applies its own security selection process, with performance dependent on the quality of those individual picks and sector allocations.

These positions come to 137.65% 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.

Cumulative return· Jul 2023 – 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.

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.

Interest-rate duration
7.08 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
3.76 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.

≈ -11.0%
of value
Interest rates65%
Credit spreads35%

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 duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

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.

Rate exposure by currency

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 7.08 yr.

GBP+0.18 yr
EUR+0.15 yr
AUD+0.10 yr
JPY+0.05 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.
