Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Current income with capital appreciation and growth of income.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds issued by governments, government-related entities, and government agencies worldwide, focusing on investment-grade issues but permitting up to 25% in below-investment-grade bonds. The manager allocates assets based on assessment of interest rates, currency movements, and credit risks, and regularly uses currency forwards, options, and derivatives including interest rate swaps and credit default swaps to hedge, enhance returns, or gain exposure to selected currencies, rates, and credit risks. As a non-diversified fund, it invests a greater portion of assets in one or more issuers and overall in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, creating concentration risk. The fund may maintain large cash positions and will fluctuate its portfolio duration based on the manager's outlook on market and economic conditions.
| Share class | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|
| TPINX | 1.05% | 1.02% |
| TEGBX | 1.45% | 1.42% |
| TGBAX | 0.80% | 0.77% |
| FGBRX | 1.30% | 1.27% |
| FBNRX | 0.66% | 0.61% |
Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.
Portfolio turnover 23.19% · as of 2026 Q2
Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Bonds | 77.75% |
| Cash & short-term | 20.46% |
| Derivatives | -1.02% |
The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +9.00% | +6.71% | -1.63% | 7.78% | -12.03% | |
| +8.64% | +5.48% | -3.49% | 7.91% | -12.26% | |
| +9.49% | +7.58% | -0.25% | 7.95% | -12.03% | |
| +8.73% | +5.92% | -2.85% | 7.78% | -12.17% | |
| +9.51% | +8.06% | +0.40% | 7.84% | -11.89% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 3.89pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.78pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 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.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
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 | 100.0% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 7.8% |
| 1-3y | 14.5% |
| 3-5y | 8.9% |
| 5-10y | 43.0% |
| 10y+ | 25.8% |
Based on what filers reported; a filer that never reported a flag also reads as none.
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 rates | 50% |
| Credit spreads | 50% |
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 | +2.43 yr |
| High yield | +1.84 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 | 0.02 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.20 yr | 5% |
| 5 yr | 1.44 yr | 34% |
| 10 yr | 2.28 yr | 53% |
| 30 yr | 0.34 yr | 8% |
| 3 mo | 0.02 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.20 yr | 5% |
| 5 yr | 1.45 yr | 34% |
| 10 yr | 2.26 yr | 53% |
| 30 yr | 0.34 yr | 8% |
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 4.28 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.
