US Short-Term Bond Fund

A dynamic, core short-term bond fund with a history of generating risk-adjusted returns and preserving capital

Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

This dynamic, short duration bond fund seeks risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation. Our approach leverages a bottom-up, fundamentally driven investment process.

The Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital by investing in short-and intermediate-term debt securities.
The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in short- and intermediate-term debt securities of US issuers. It is expected that the Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio effective maturity will not exceed three years. Although it has no pre-established quality standards the Fund intends to invest primarily in short and intermediate-term investment grade debt securities. No more than 10% of the net asset value of the Fund may be invested in securities traded on any one developing market and the aggregate amount of the Fund which may be invested in securities traded on the developing markets is 20% of the net asset value of the Fund.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital.

The Fund pursues its objective by investing at least 80% of its net asset value in short- and intermediate-term debt securities of US issuers. It is expected that the Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio effective maturity will not exceed three years. Although it has no pre-established quality standards, this Fund will invest at least 70% of its net asset value in investment grade debt securities.

The aggregate amount of the Fund which may be invested in securities traded on the developing markets is 10% of the net asset value of the Fund.
