Philosophy and process highlights

We believe careful selection of undervalued securities and spread sectors offering incremental yield and total return relative to the index is the best way to generate successful long-term investment outcomes.

We focus on securitized products as we believe this differentiated approach provides more opportunities to achieve higher credit quality while maintaining a yield advantage as compared to those invested in government or corporate credit-focused strategies.

We constantly look for value-add opportunities, which can lead to allocations outside of the benchmark with a focus on the securitized market.

The portfolio may invest up to 35% of its net assets in below-investment grade securities at the time of purchase. The portfolio will typically maintain an average portfolio duration within 20% of the duration of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.

Risk disclosure: In general, when interest rates rise, fixed income values fall. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are influenced by factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. The securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties and become more volatile and/or illiquid. They are also subject to prepayment risk, which occurs when mortgage holders refinance or repay loans sooner than expected, creating an early return of principal to loan holders.

1The 30-day SEC Yield represents net investment income earned by the fund over the previous 30-day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the Fund’s share price at the end of the 30-day period. 

2Cash & Other may include cash and money market funds. RMBS: Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, CMBS: Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities. 

3Security quality ratings are derived from underlying portfolio securities by using the middle rating of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. If only two of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch rates a security the higher of the two is selected. If only one of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch rates a security the available rating is used. For securities that are not rated by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch a rating from a secondary Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) may be used. Ratings by any agency represent an opinion only, not a recommendation to buy or sell. Securities that are not rated by any agencies are reflected as Not Rated “NR.”
