Under normal circumstances, the Fund maintains an average portfolio duration that is within 25% of the duration of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index, which as of January 31, 2026 was 5.76 years. The Funds strategies may result in the active and frequent trading of the Funds portfolio securities. The Fund enters into dollar roll transactions, which may involve leverage. The Fund invests in derivatives, including Treasury futures, credit index futures, and interest rate swaps to manage the fixed-income exposure (including for hedging purposes) and credit default swaps to increase or decrease, in an efficient manner, exposures to certain sectors or individual issuers. A derivative is a financial arrangement, the value of which is derived from, or based on, a traditional security, asset, or market index.
