Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The investment objective of the Fund is total return .
The fund is managed by a subadviser that allocates assets across bonds including U.S. Government securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, corporate debt, and foreign debt securities, using top-down economic analysis and bottom-up research combined with quantitative models. The fund maintains at least 80% of investable assets in bonds and may hold up to 30% in high-yield securities and up to 30% in foreign debt securities. The subadviser may invest based on expected total return rather than yield and uses derivatives to manage duration and currency exposure. Because the fund's allocation depends on the subadviser's security selection and economic views, performance will diverge from any benchmark.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +4.78% | +14.31% | +2.80% | 3.70% | -5.06% | |
| +3.91% | +11.72% | -0.97% | 3.63% | -5.50% | |
| +4.96% | +15.14% | +4.12% | 3.64% | -4.95% | |
| +4.50% | +13.41% | +1.45% | 3.61% | -5.17% | |

| +4.64% | +13.86% | +2.17% | 3.62% | -5.14% | |
| +4.88% | +14.69% | +3.35% | 3.69% | -5.03% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.62pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.12pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-04-30
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 | 70.6% |
| Floating rate | 28.2% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 1.2% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 2.2% |
| 1-3y | 7.2% |
| 3-5y | 10.9% |
| 5-10y | 18.5% |
| 10y+ | 59.8% |
| Unknown | 1.5% |
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 about half 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 | 64% |
| Credit spreads | 36% |
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.
| Investment grade | +2.99 yr |
| High yield | +0.27 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 | 0.06 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.60 yr | 11% |
| 5 yr | 1.63 yr | 29% |
| 10 yr | 2.29 yr | 40% |
| 30 yr | 1.12 yr | 20% |
| 3 mo | 0.02 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.44 yr | 13% |
| 5 yr | 1.80 yr | 55% |
| 10 yr | 0.91 yr | 28% |
| 30 yr | 0.10 yr | 3% |
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.

Dollar change per 1bp of spread movement, as filed and sign-anchored. A blank cell was not filed; a zero was.
Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 5.70 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.
