ETF Facts
About the Team
A comprehensive fixed income platform powered by seasoned investors and focused, benchmark aware investment strategies.
Strategy Highlights
- The ETF can serve as a stand-alone fixed income offering, or as a complement to equities focused on providing superior long-term excess returns over the benchmark.
- Seeks to provide a balance between safety and total return, and a consistent yield advantage by dynamically allocating to non-benchmark fixed income sectors.
Investment Strategy
- Benchmark-aware strategy with a broad opportunity set that includes benchmark sectors and out-of-benchmark āPlusā sectors.
- Top-down macroeconomic analysis informs sector allocations, duration posture, overall portfolio quality, and liquidity; bottom-up fundamental analysis supports security selection.
- The ETF can pursue higher returns due to its flexibility to invest up to 15% of assets in below investment grade and up to 5% in non-dollar and emerging market debt.
- The ETF manages interest rate risk by generally maintaining duration +/- 1.5 years relative to the benchmark.
- The primary drivers of alpha are expected to be sector allocation, security selection and duration/yield curve management.
About Risk
- Fixed Income Securities Risk: May carry one or more of the following risks: credit, interest rate (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), inflation and liquidity.
- Mortgage-related and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be prepaid, potentially resulting in the reinvestment of the prepaid amounts into securities with lower yields.
- Below Investment-Grade Securities Risk: May be subject to greater risks (including the risk of default) than other fixed income securities.
- Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk: Foreign and emerging market securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit, currency, and information risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, due to varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
- Currency Risk: Currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the Fundās investments to decline.
- Inflation Protected Securities/TIPS Risk: Inflation protected securities move with the rate of inflation and carry the risk that in deflationary conditions (when inflation is negative) the value of the bond may decrease.
- ETF General Risk: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, and will fluctuate in market value. Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are not individually redeemable directly with the Fund, and are bought and sold on the secondary market at market price, which may be higher or lower than the ETFās net asset value (NAV). Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns.
- Active ETF: Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the Fund attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
- New Fund Risk: As a new fund, there is limited operating history and there can be no assurance it will grow to an economically viable size, in which case it may cease operations and require investors to liquidate or transfer their investments.
- Derivatives: Involve risk of loss and may entail additional risks. Because derivatives depend on the performance of an underlying asset, they can be highly volatile and are subject to market and credit risks.
