MSTI strives to achieve substantial income gains by favoring securities perceived to be of lower-risk and high quality. The fund typically holds a portfolio of 100-500 US Corporate and Government bonds that are rated investment grade but has the flexibility to invest in those of lower ratings, along with asset-backed securities. Securities selected for the fund are characterized by their credit risk, sector exposure and yield curve positioning. MSTIs goal is to maintain an average portfolio duration of three and half years or less. Additionally, the fund adheres to the Advisers Participate and Protect methodology, which aims to seize opportunities during market upturns and employ measures to reduce potential impacts of market downturns. It is important to note that while this conservative strategy aims to mitigate risk, it does not guarantee specific outcomes or complete risk elimination
