The strategy invests across short-duration fixed income, allocating primarily to investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. government-related securities, with additional exposure to securitized sectors such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and select high yield and bank loans to diversify income sources. The fund maintains a limited interest rate sensitivity profile consistent with a short-term bond approach, distributing income monthly and seeking to balance yield with controlled volatility. It is sizable in its category, with total net assets exceeding $40 billion and more than a thousand holdings, reflecting broad issuer and sector diversification and an actively adjusted maturity profile centered in the one- to five-year range.
