Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

What drove fund performance during the past 12 months?

U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) generated positive performance for the 12-month reporting period as shorter-maturity break-even spreads widened and TIPS benefited from principal adjustments for inflation. Although price increases moderated during the period, inflation remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
The fund’s slightly long average duration position contributed in aggregate to performance versus the style-specific Bloomberg U.S. 1–5 Year Treasury TIPS Index. Holding a long duration position helped in the second quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 as yields declined, though this was offset somewhat in early October when yields jumped sharply higher. Positioning for a steepening of the two-year/10-year portion of the yield curve also added value as shorter-maturity Treasury yields fell more during the period than 10-year yields.
Allocations to options on Treasury futures, which we use to help with interest rate management, detracted versus the style-specific index. Security selection within the TIPS sector also modestly hampered performance.
The fund seeks income by investing in inflation-linked securities and aims to closely track the investment returns of its style-specific benchmark. At period-end, our non-TIPS allocations were very low as the risk/reward trade-off of credit sectors appeared to be unappealing at this point in the economic cycle, while TIPS looked attractive amid potentially inflationary tariff policies.
