Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The Fund seeks income.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities selected by multiple sub-advisors under strategic allocations set by the principal adviser. Holdings span investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, preferred securities, emerging market debt, securitized products, and derivatives used to manage exposure and hedge currency risk. Because day-to-day management is delegated to multiple sub-advisors with varying strategies and allocations that may shift substantially, the fund's actual composition and risk profile can change materially over time.

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

This fund carries a net credit hedge: it would gain roughly ≈ 0% if credit spreads widened 100bp, where a comparable bond fund would lose.

-0.14 yr
gains value when rates rise
Credit-spread duration

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.

Interest rate-0.14 yr total

10 yr0.01 yr100%

3 mo and 1 yr and 5 yr and 30 yr are NEGATIVE (-0.00 yr, -0.03 yr, -0.04 yr, -0.09 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so they are not part of the band above.

Credit spread-0.12 yr total
10 yr
10 yr0.02 yr100%

3 mo and 1 yr and 5 yr and 30 yr are NEGATIVE (-0.00 yr, -0.03 yr, -0.04 yr, -0.07 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so they are not part of the band above.

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 -0.14 yr.

USD-0.15 yr
EUR+0.01 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.
