The company offers an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that primarily targets current income and capital preservation, while also striving for long-term capital appreciation as a secondary goal. This strategic approach allows the ETF to navigate through various market conditions effectively. The investment strategy focuses on a diverse array of fixed-income sectors, which enhances the potential for stable returns while managing risk effectively. The ETF may invest in U.S. Treasuries, structured products such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), as well as corporate debts, loans, and foreign sovereign bonds. Importantly, the fund has the flexibility to allocate up to 25% of its assets to high-yield bonds, further optimizing its income potential and overall investment performance. The occasional use of derivatives serves to hedge against risks or enhance the overall investment strategy, ensuring that the fund can respond dynamically to the ever-changing market landscape.
