Agency MBS are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, which include mortgage pass-through securities representing interests in pools of mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae), the Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA or Sallie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac). The Fund may also invest in other fixed income instruments, which include bonds, debt or credit securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public or private sector entities at the discretion of the Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the Adviser). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will maintain an average portfolio duration of less than three, although under certain market conditions, such as periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Funds average duration may be longer than three. Duration is an approximate measure of a bonds price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three means that a securitys or portfolios price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). The Fund may invest in individual fixed income securities with effective durations in excess of three, provided, however, such investments are made within the constraints above. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in below investment grade securities, including those referred to as junk bonds (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. When selecting securities for the Fund, the Adviser performs a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and the legal and technical structure of the security. The Adviser will attempt to take advantage of inefficiencies that it believes exist in the fixed income markets, such as the diversity of participants working with different objectives and repeated temporary supply-demand imbalances. The Adviser seeks to invest in securities that the Adviser expects to offer attractive prospects for income and/or capital appreciation in relation to the risk borne. Show less
