Intermediate Bond Strategy
The Fund seeks a total return that consistently exceeds the total return of the intermediate portion of the broad U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed income securities.
What are the principles that have enabled the strategy to be successful?
Duration neutral – interest rate risk is minimized by maintaining portfolio duration close to the benchmark.
Income tilt – in healthy market environments, the Fund has typically had a yield advantage over the benchmark.
Active sector rotation and diversification – sector allocations are deliberate and change primarily as a result of bottom up relative value assessment. Under/overweights are contained and position sizes in non-government securities are small.
