TABD is structured as a broad fixed income fund that allocates primarily to bonds and bond-like instruments across government, corporate, securitized, and structured credit markets. The portfolio emphasizes investment grade securities, while allowing limited exposure to below-investment-grade debt, emerging markets, and non-US issuers. Duration is not managed to a specific target, giving the portfolio flexibility to adjust interest rate sensitivity across market environments. Derivatives may be used selectively to manage exposure, adjust duration, or alter risk characteristics. Portfolio positioning is informed by a combination of macroeconomic assessment and security-level analysis, with flexibility across sectors, maturities, and credit profiles in pursuit of total return through income and capital appreciation.
