What this fund is
Objective, as filed

A balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests approximately 70% of assets in underlying portfolios holding U.S. and foreign equities and investment-grade and high-yield fixed-income securities, and approximately 30% in equity index futures and fixed-income collateral managed by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC as subadviser. The subadviser adjusts equity exposure between roughly 10% and 70% using quantitative models to target 10% annualized portfolio volatility, which may result in leverage when equity exposure exceeds 60%. Because equity derivative instruments require only a fraction of the assets needed to purchase securities directly, the fund's actual equity exposure can diverge substantially from its target allocations in response to market volatility.

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 a small fraction as much.

3.24 yr
approx. move per 100bp
0.29 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.

of value
Interest rates92%
Credit spreads8%

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.

Where the risk sits on the curve

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.
