William Blair Short Duration Bond Class N 

This fund is designed to deliver regular income while simultaneously aiming to preserve the principal investment. It dedicates a substantial portion of its holdings—specifically, at least 80% of its net assets (which may include borrowed capital)—to bonds. The primary focus is on high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments. The fund's advisor actively manages a diverse collection of these securities, with the objective of surpassing the returns of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index. The average maturity of the bonds within the portfolio is expected to be relatively short, not exceeding five years.
