About
The fund is mandated to invest a minimum of 80% of its capital in either the securities composing its benchmark index or in other investments that its investment adviser determines possess equivalent economic attributes. This underlying index utilizes a systematic, multi-sector "strategic beta" methodology to evaluate the performance of the debt market. It accomplishes this by including six different segments of the fixed-income market, with each segment assessed for its specific yield, quality, and liquidity.
