Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] What affected the Fund's performance this period?
 
U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds posted a solid advance for the 12 months ending August 31, 2025, navigating tariff-related uncertainty since late 2024 but buoyed by relatively stable consumer inflation, a resilient economy and the expectation of policy interest-rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve in the second half of 2025. 
Against this backdrop, the fund's strategy of overweighting corporate bonds, while underweighting U.S. Treasurys, contributed to its performance versus the Composite index for the fiscal year. Within corporates, debt holdings among financial institutions, especially banks, and industrial firms, particularly in the consumer cyclical segment, added notable value.
Non-Composite exposure to asset-backed securities, including car loan debt and credit card receivables, also meaningfully contributed. A small, out-of-index allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities helped as well.
There were no notable relative detractors among the fund's principal investment strategies.  
At period end, corporates made up about 32% of fund assets, versus roughly 33% a year ago and notably overweight versus the Composite index average of 16%. Exposure to U.S. Treasurys stood at about 49% at the end of the fiscal year, compared with an average of 77% for the Composite index, while exposure to ABS composed roughly 11% of fund assets as of August 31.
