Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to the Bloomberg US Mortgage Backed Securities Index to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and related indexes, including the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the overall U.S. fixed-income market. The Fund seeks to provide total return.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

  • Bullet

    Security selection proved beneficial to relative performance, attributable to a preference for mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over Ginnie Mae securities, which lagged their conventional counterparts.

  • Bullet

    Interest rate strategy was additive to relative performance as duration and yield curve positioning made small positive contributions.

  • Bullet

    The Fund used derivatives as a tool to assist in managing Fund duration and yield curve exposure. The principal derivatives the Fund used for these purposes were Treasury futures contracts. For the reporting period, the use of futures contracts positively contributed to Fund performance relative to the Index.

Top Detractors from Performance

  • Bullet

    There were no material detractors from relative Fund performance.

Top Detractors from Performance
