Industry description
The investment seeks to provide total return consistent with current income and low interest rate volatility.
The fund pursues its investment objective by allocating its portfolio of investments among the following three categories of the fixed-income market: domestic investment-grade; domestic noninvestment-grade (also known as "junk bonds"), and foreign (in both emerging and developed markets). Under normal market conditions it will endeavor to maintain an average effective portfolio duration within a range of negative two (-2) to positive three (+3) years, in order to manage Share price volatility due to interest rate risk.
