Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to a blended index comprised of 75% Bloomberg US Credit Index and 25% Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped 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 to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

  • Bullet

    Duration management contributed to relative Fund performance. The Fund’s average duration for the period was 100% of Blended Index duration. However, active management between slight-long, slight-short and neutral positions relative to the Blended Index throughout the period resulted in a positive contribution for the reporting period.

  • Bullet

    Industry positioning was a positive contributor to relative Fund performance. The following positions were positive contributors: an overweight allocation to the banking industry and an underweight allocation to the basic industries. This was partially offset by a negative contribution from an overweight position in the technology industry.

  • Bullet

    The use of derivatives, primarily U.S. Treasury futures to adjust duration and yield curve positioning, was a slight positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

  • Bullet

    Asset class allocation detracted from relative Fund performance. The Fund maintained an underweight position in the high-yield asset class and an overweight position in the investment-grade asset class throughout the period. Investment-grade returns for the period were 6.00% compared to 7.55% for high-yield.

  • Bullet

    Yield curve positioning was a detractor from relative Fund performance. The Fund had an underweight position in the very short end of the credit curve and an overweight position in the very long end of the credit curve, which resulted in a negative contribution for the period.

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 blended index comprised of 75% Bloomberg US Credit Index and 25% Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped 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 to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

  • Bullet

    Duration management contributed to relative Fund performance. The Fund’s average duration for the period was 100% of Blended Index duration. However, active management between slight-long, slight-short and neutral positions relative to the Blended Index throughout the period resulted in a positive contribution for the reporting period.

  • Bullet

    Industry positioning was a positive contributor to relative Fund performance. The following positions were positive contributors: an overweight allocation to the banking industry and an underweight allocation to the basic industries. This was partially offset by a negative contribution from an overweight position in the technology industry.

  • Bullet

    The use of derivatives, primarily U.S. Treasury futures to adjust duration and yield curve positioning, was a slight positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

  • Bullet

    Asset class allocation detracted from relative Fund performance. The Fund maintained an underweight position in the high-yield asset class and an overweight position in the investment-grade asset class throughout the period. Investment-grade returns for the period were 6.00% compared to 7.55% for high-yield.

  • Bullet

    Yield curve positioning was a detractor from relative Fund performance. The Fund had an underweight position in the very short end of the credit curve and an overweight position in the very long end of the credit curve, which resulted in a negative contribution for the period.

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.
