Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The investment objective of the Fund is total return .

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in fixed income instruments across multiple sectors including U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, corporate debt, foreign debt, and loan participations. A subadviser manages the portfolio using top-down economic analysis and bottom-up research combined with proprietary quantitative models, targeting a weighted average duration of three years or less and maturity of five years or less. The fund may allocate up to 50% to high yield bonds, up to 40% to foreign debt securities, and up to 30% to loan participations. Because the fund's allocation across sectors and credit qualities is discretionary rather than rule-based, performance will depend on the subadviser's security selection and sector positioning decisions.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 6.37pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.27pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
2.08 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
2.09 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.

≈ -4.0%
of value
Credit spreads50%
Interest rates50%

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.

Rate exposure by currency

Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 2.08 yr.

USD+2.02 yr
EUR+0.06 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.
