What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The funds investment objective is to provide a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in U.S. government securities, agency debt, and mortgage-backed securities issued by federal agencies, with the flexibility to hold inflation-linked bonds and use derivatives such as futures and swaps. A team of portfolio managers oversees separate segments of the portfolio, selecting and selling securities based on their assessment of long-term value and attractive pricing rather than tracking an index.

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 a small fraction as much.

6.96 yr
approx. move per 100bp
0.06 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.

of value
Interest rates99%
Credit spreads1%

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.

Where the risk sits on the curve

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

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.
