What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The funds goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index that measures the performance of U.S. dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt.

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the ICE BofA US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index, which comprises U.S. dollar-denominated below-investment-grade corporate bonds with at least one year to maturity, issued by entities in the FX-G10 countries, Western Europe, or U.S. territories. The fund maintains at least 80% of assets in below-investment-grade bonds and uses sampling techniques to replicate index performance, holding a subset of index securities expected to behave similarly to the full index. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index.

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.

3.00 yr
approx. move per 100bp
2.99 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 rates50%
Credit spreads50%

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.
