Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3

The investment objective of the Fund is total return .

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds—including government, corporate, mortgage-related, and asset-backed securities—selected by its subadviser using top-down economic analysis, bottom-up credit research, and quantitative models to identify relative value and total return opportunities. The subadviser may trade actively and use derivatives to manage duration and currency exposure. Because security selection depends on the subadviser's analysis and outlook on individual issuers, fund performance will diverge from any benchmark.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.66pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.13pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

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.

Interest-rate duration
5.28 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
3.75 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 rates58%
Credit spreads42%

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.
