Generally, and within standard market environments, the Fund's strategy involves allocating a significant portion—specifically, at least 80% of its net assets, which factors in any investment borrowings—to a range of fixed income instruments.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
