Products and Services

• Investment-Grade Debt Securities:

  The fund invests in fixed and floating-rate debt instruments that are categorized as investment-grade, signifying a relatively low risk of default. These securities include both U.S. and non-U.S. dollar-denominated assets, allowing for a mix of domestic and international exposure.

• Short-Term Investment Focus:

  Emphasizing liquidity and reducing exposure to long-term interest rate fluctuations, the fund targets debt securities that are maturing in three years or less. This strategy is designed to appeal to investors seeking shorter duration investments.

• Non-Diversified Fund Structure:

  Operating as a non-diversified fund, it may invest a larger portion of its assets in a limited number of issuers. This approach can lead to higher volatility and risk, but also offers the potential for higher returns, as the fund's performance is more closely tied to the specific issuities it selects.
