Fund Description
The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index. This Index encompasses all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds with maturities between 1 and 5 years. The fund invests by sampling the Index, holding a range of securities that approximate the full Index in terms of key risk factors and characteristics, with at least 80% of its assets in Index-related bonds. It seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity and an average duration consistent with those of the Index, which were 2.8 years and 2.6 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
