The primary objective of this fund is to generate consistent income while maintaining a reasonable degree of capital preservation. It commits at least 80% of its net assets (along with any borrowed capital utilized for investment purposes) to bond investments. The portfolio predominantly features U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade fixed income securities. The investment adviser actively manages a diversified collection of debt instruments with the goal of surpassing the performance of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. government/Credit Index. Expectedly, the fund's weighted average maturity will not exceed five years.
