Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to a blend of indexes comprised of the 25% Bloomberg EM Seasoned ex Aggregate/Eurodollar Index/40% Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index/35% Bloomberg US Mortgage Backed Securities Index (the “Blended 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 a high level of current income by investing in three categories of fixed-income securities: domestic investment-grade, domestic non-investment-grade and foreign.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

  • Bullet

    Security selection within the high-yield bond, mortgage-backed securities and emerging market bond allocations contributed to relative Fund performance.

  • Bullet

    On average, the Fund’s duration was equal to the Blended Index for the reporting period. Options strategies used to monetize interest rate volatility helped performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies helped performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    A lower than Index allocation to mortgage-backed securities and an overweight position in investment-grade corporate bonds aided relative performance.

Top Detractors from Performance

  • Bullet

    The Fund reduced its holdings of equity securities following the April “Liberation Day” drawdown in the equity market which hurt the Fund’s performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s lower than Index allocation to the high-yield sector and holdings of out of Index U.S. Treasury bonds hurt performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s positioning along the yield curve slightly detracted from performance relative to the Blended Index.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Keep in mind that the Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to a blend of indexes comprised of the 25% Bloomberg EM Seasoned ex Aggregate/Eurodollar Index/40% Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index/35% Bloomberg US Mortgage Backed Securities Index (the “Blended 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 a high level of current income by investing in three categories of fixed-income securities: domestic investment-grade, domestic non-investment-grade and foreign.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

  • Bullet

    Security selection within the high-yield bond, mortgage-backed securities and emerging market bond allocations contributed to relative Fund performance.

  • Bullet

    On average, the Fund’s duration was equal to the Blended Index for the reporting period. Options strategies used to monetize interest rate volatility helped performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies helped performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    A lower than Index allocation to mortgage-backed securities and an overweight position in investment-grade corporate bonds aided relative performance.

Top Detractors from Performance

  • Bullet

    The Fund reduced its holdings of equity securities following the April “Liberation Day” drawdown in the equity market which hurt the Fund’s performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s lower than Index allocation to the high-yield sector and holdings of out of Index U.S. Treasury bonds hurt performance relative to the Blended Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s positioning along the yield curve slightly detracted from performance relative to the Blended Index.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Keep in mind that the Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.
