Read more about Fixed Income Style Fixed Income Style (as at 30/06/2026)

The Fixed Income Style Box shows the fund's overall interest rate sensitivity (horizontal axis) and credit quality (vertical axis). It is created by classifying the fund's fixed income holdings according to interest rate sensitivity (measured by average duration) and credit quality.
In general, higher percentages in the upper left-hand quadrants of the Style Box represent a conservative fixed-income exposure for the fund, with bonds of investment-grade quality and short to intermediate bond maturity. Conversely, larger percentages in the lower right-hand portions of the Style box represent a riskier fixed-income allocation for the fund, although one that may produce higher yields.
Legend:
Ltd: Limited. Duration <= 4.5 years
Mod: Moderate. Duration > 4.5 and <= 7 years
Ext: Extensive. Duration > 7.0 years.

Low: Low quality (average credit < BBB)
Mid: Medium quality (average credit rating < AA and >= BBB)
High: High quality (average credit rating AAA or AA).

Credit Quality

Globally, credit rating from Fixed Income Survey provided by fund company: Government, AAA , AA, A , BBB, BB, B, Below B and Not Rated. AAA bonds carry the highest credit rating. For the purpose of Morningstar's calculations, U.S. government bonds are considered AAA. For municipal bonds, anything at or below BBB is considered a high-yield or junk bond. Nonrated municipal bonds generally are classified as BBB. Other nonrated bonds generally are considered B. Morningstar base on the surveyed credit quality breakdown to calculate the average credit quality, please refer to the methodology paper for more detail.

The interest rate risk refers to the chance that investments in fixed income funds will suffer as the result of unexpected interest rate changes.

Avg Eff Maturity Read more about Avg Eff Maturity

Average effective maturity is a weighted average of all the maturities of the bonds in a portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's effective maturity by the market value of the security. Average effective maturity takes into consideration all mortgage prepayments, puts, and adjustable coupons. Longer-maturity funds are generally considered more interest-rate sensitive than their shorter counterparts. We list Average Effective Maturity for Taxable Fixed-Income and Hybrid funds and Average Nominal Maturity for Municipal Bond Funds. Since this is collected by survey, it is important to bear in mind that different fund companies may use different interest-rate assumptions in determining call likelihood and timing. Generally speaking, the longer the maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. When duration is unavailable, this measure is used in the calculation of the fixed-income style box.

8.93

Avg Eff Duration Read more about Avg Eff Duration

A measure of a fund's interest-rate sensitivity - the longer a fund's duration, the more sensitive the fund is to shifts in interest rates. Duration is determined by a formula that includes coupon rates and bond maturities. Small coupons tend to increase duration, while shorter maturities and higher coupons shorten duration. The relationship between funds with different durations is straightforward: A fund with a duration of 10 years is twice as volatile as a fund with a five-year duration.

Risks

WARNING

Investment risk & Currency risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.

Emerging markets risk
Investments can be made in emerging markets. These markets may be volatile and carry higher risk than developed markets.

Credit and interest rate risk
Bond values are affected by changes in interest rates and the bond issuer's creditworthiness. Bonds that offer the potential for a higher income typically have a greater risk of default.

Derivatives Risk
Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, meaning significant losses may be incurred.

Illiquid Securities Risk
Some investments could be hard to value or to sell at a desired time, or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities). As a result their prices can be volatile.

Sustainability Risk
The level of sustainability risk may fluctuate depending on which investment opportunities the Investment Manager identifies. This means that the fund is exposed to Sustainability Risk which may impact the value of investments over the long term.

Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
