What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with prudent investment management and stability of principal.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests in high-quality fixed-income securities rated BBB- or higher, emphasizing short-term bonds with an effective maturity of five years or less and portfolio duration within 30% of the Bloomberg Credit 1-3 Year Index. Holdings span corporate, government, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities, including foreign debt. The fund uses Treasury and credit index futures for hedging and to manage fixed-income exposure. Because security selection relies partly on manager judgment for unrated securities, portfolio composition depends on those determinations.

Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

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

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.

1.92 yr
approx. move per 100bp
2.40 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.

≈ -4.5%
of value
Credit spreads56%
Interest rates44%

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.
