Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Seeks to provide high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.
The fund is managed by sub-adviser Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC, which invests at least 80% of net assets in fixed-income securities including government bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, bank loans, and convertible securities. At least 70% must be in investment-grade debt, government securities, prime-rated commercial paper, or cash, with up to 30% permitted in below-investment-grade debt. The sub-adviser employs a combined global top-down macroeconomic analysis and bottom-up security research to determine positions across asset classes, sectors, and the yield curve, integrating environmental, social and governance factors as a risk management tool for most corporate and structured debt holdings. Because security selection depends on the sub-adviser's credit analysis and valuation judgments, fund returns will diverge from any fixed-income benchmark.
| Share class | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|
| IDITX | 0.84% | 0.84% |
| IFLLX | 1.52% | 1.52% |
| C000021247 | 0.44% | 0.44% |
| TFXIX | 0.53% | 0.50% |
| TAFLX | 0.44% | 0.44% |
| TAADX | 1.20% | 1.01% |
Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.
Portfolio turnover 59.00% · as of 2026 Q1
Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Bonds | 65.06% |
| Securitized | 32.64% |
| Cash & short-term | 9.20% |
These positions come to 106.90% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Securitized | 30.5% |
| Government | 20.1% |
| Other | 12.8% |
| International | 7.7% |
| 12 smaller | 28.9% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +4.45% | +11.35% | +1.61% | 3.47% | -5.60% | |
| +3.70% | +9.01% | -1.78% | 3.48% | -6.09% | |

| +4.84% | +12.68% | +3.68% | 3.48% | -5.38% | |
| +4.25% | +10.82% | — | 3.46% | -5.65% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 3.67pp spread over 3 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.22pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-04-30
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 | 85.8% |
| Floating rate | 14.2% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 0.9% |
| 1-3y | 5.5% |
| 3-5y | 11.8% |
| 5-10y | 32.3% |
| 10y+ | 49.5% |
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 about half 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 | 65% |
| Credit spreads | 35% |
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 | +2.58 yr |
| High yield | +0.55 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 | 0.04 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.46 yr | 8% |
| 5 yr | 1.63 yr | 28% |
| 10 yr | 2.50 yr | 43% |
| 30 yr | 1.19 yr | 20% |
| 3 mo | 0.02 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.40 yr | 13% |
| 5 yr | 1.23 yr | 39% |
| 10 yr | 1.27 yr | 40% |
| 30 yr | 0.22 yr | 7% |
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.
