Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The primary investment objective of the Fund is to maximize current income . As a secondary investment objective, the Fund will seek capital appreciation , but only when consistent with the Fund's primary investment objective of current income.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high-yield fixed income instruments rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's or BB+ or lower by S&P, or comparable instruments, with day-to-day management delegated to a subadviser. The subadviser employs top-down economic analysis and bottom-up fundamental research to select securities, considering factors including credit quality, yield, spread, and total return potential. The fund may also hold up to 20% in foreign government and corporate fixed income securities and preferred stock, and up to 10% in foreign currency-denominated debt. Because security selection depends on the subadviser's internal ratings and outlook assessments, fund performance will diverge from any benchmark.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026

| +8.76% | +28.48% | +22.04% | 3.18% | -3.15% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 6.57pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.31pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-05-29
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 93.0% |
| Floating rate | 7.0% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 3.0% |
| 1-3y | 27.7% |
| 3-5y | 37.6% |
| 5-10y | 27.7% |
| 10y+ | 2.1% |
| Unknown | 1.9% |
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 nearly as much.
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 rates | 54% |
| Credit spreads | 46% |
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 the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| High yield | +2.05 yr |
| Investment grade | +0.42 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 3 mo | 0.04 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.77 yr | 27% |
| 5 yr | 1.64 yr | 57% |
| 10 yr | 0.38 yr | 13% |
| 30 yr | 0.05 yr | 2% |
| 3 mo | 0.03 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.91 yr | 37% |
| 5 yr | 1.37 yr | 56% |
| 10 yr | 0.15 yr | 6% |
| 30 yr | 0.01 yr | 0% |
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.
