What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks to provide current income.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in preferred securities and capital securities issued by financial institutions and other corporations, selecting issues rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade (up to 55% of assets) at the time of purchase. The fund concentrates more than 25% of assets in the financial services sector, including banking, insurance, and commercial finance. Because the fund's returns depend on the credit quality and payment performance of issuers it selects, credit deterioration or defaults among its holdings will reduce returns.

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.

2.32 yr
approx. move per 100bp
2.32 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.

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.
