About QDVBX
Fisher Investments Institutional Group ESG Fixed Income Fund for Retirement Plans is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in intermediate core bonds with an emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Launched in 2019, the fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income and fixed income-related securities, including U.S. Treasury and government bonds, corporate debt, and securitized assets.

The fund typically maintains high concentration in bonds, accounting for over 80% of its holdings, with select exposure to stocks and cash instruments. Notably, around 77% of its assets are in its top ten holdings, featuring both government securities and prominent corporate issuers such as Procter & Gamble and JPMorgan Chase. The fund caters exclusively to eligible retirement plans and is designed to deliver sustainable fixed income solutions while integrating ESG factors, supporting investors’ long-term retirement and responsible investment objectives. It features a low expense ratio and aims for competitive yields relative to its peer group.
