What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Short Duration Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in below-investment-grade fixed-income securities and bank loans, typically those rated CCC or better, with a focus on instruments maturing or callable within three years to maintain a dollar-weighted average duration of approximately three years or less. The fund may use leverage up to 33% of total assets and may hold up to 20% in foreign fixed-income instruments, 15% in convertible bonds, and 10% in preferred stocks. Because the fund concentrates in high-yield debt with short duration, credit deterioration or widening spreads among its holdings will reduce returns.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 1.36%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 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.

The 4 share classes hold the same portfolio

Share classExpense ratio1 year3 years5 yearsWorst fall
1.00%+5.11%+20.65%+22.64%-0.46%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 6.21pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.24pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

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 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.
