Management's Discussion of Fund Performance 

The performance of Class A shares for the period presented is shown in the Average Annual Total Returns table.

Top Performance Contributors

Allocations | The Fund benefited most on a relative basis from having exposure to residential mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade corporates, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Structured asset sectors are all out-of-benchmark sectors, which contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. High-yield corporates also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as an out-of-benchmark allocation.

 

Security selection | Security selection within the investment-grade corporate bond sector was additive to the Fund’s performance. Selection within the industrials and financials sub-sectors also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

Top Performance Detractors

Allocations | An underweight allocation to the investment-grade corporate bond sector detracted modestly from the Fund’s relative performance, as the sector outperformed the benchmark during the annual period. Investment-grade corporate bonds represented the Fund’s largest sector underweight, excluding U.S. Treasuries.

 

Duration and curve positioning | The combination of duration and yield curve positioning had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. The U.S. Federal Reserve continued easing monetary policy during the period with three 25 basis point cuts resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. However, market volatility and the conflict in Iran have the Fed cautious on future reductions in the fed funds target rate in 2026 due to economic uncertainty and the long-term impact of a potential prolonged war.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance 

The performance of Class S shares for the period presented is shown in the Average Annual Total Returns table.

Top Performance Contributors

Allocations | The Fund benefited most on a relative basis from having exposure to residential mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade corporates, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Structured asset sectors are all out-of-benchmark sectors, which contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. High-yield corporates also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as an out-of-benchmark allocation.

 

Security selection | Security selection within the investment-grade corporate bond sector was additive to the Fund’s performance. Selection within the industrials and financials sub-sectors also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

Top Performance Detractors

Allocations | An underweight allocation to the investment-grade corporate bond sector detracted modestly from the Fund’s relative performance, as the sector outperformed the benchmark during the annual period. Investment-grade corporate bonds represented the Fund’s largest sector underweight, excluding U.S. Treasuries.

 

Duration and curve positioning | The combination of duration and yield curve positioning had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. The U.S. Federal Reserve continued easing monetary policy during the period with three 25 basis point cuts resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. However, market volatility and the conflict in Iran have the Fed cautious on future reductions in the fed funds target rate in 2026 due to economic uncertainty and the long-term impact of a potential prolonged war.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance 

The performance of Institutional 2 Class shares for the period presented is shown in the Average Annual Total Returns table.

Top Performance Contributors

Allocations | The Fund benefited most on a relative basis from having exposure to residential mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade corporates, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Structured asset sectors are all out-of-benchmark sectors, which contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. High-yield corporates also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as an out-of-benchmark allocation.

 

Security selection | Security selection within the investment-grade corporate bond sector was additive to the Fund’s performance. Selection within the industrials and financials sub-sectors also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

Top Performance Detractors

Allocations | An underweight allocation to the investment-grade corporate bond sector detracted modestly from the Fund’s relative performance, as the sector outperformed the benchmark during the annual period. Investment-grade corporate bonds represented the Fund’s largest sector underweight, excluding U.S. Treasuries.

 

Duration and curve positioning | The combination of duration and yield curve positioning had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. The U.S. Federal Reserve continued easing monetary policy during the period with three 25 basis point cuts resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. However, market volatility and the conflict in Iran have the Fed cautious on future reductions in the fed funds target rate in 2026 due to economic uncertainty and the long-term impact of a potential prolonged war.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance 

The performance of Institutional Class shares for the period presented is shown in the Average Annual Total Returns table.

Top Performance Contributors

Allocations | The Fund benefited most on a relative basis from having exposure to residential mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade corporates, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Structured asset sectors are all out-of-benchmark sectors, which contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. High-yield corporates also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as an out-of-benchmark allocation.

 

Security selection | Security selection within the investment-grade corporate bond sector was additive to the Fund’s performance. Selection within the industrials and financials sub-sectors also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

Top Performance Detractors

Allocations | An underweight allocation to the investment-grade corporate bond sector detracted modestly from the Fund’s relative performance, as the sector outperformed the benchmark during the annual period. Investment-grade corporate bonds represented the Fund’s largest sector underweight, excluding U.S. Treasuries.

 

Duration and curve positioning | The combination of duration and yield curve positioning had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. The U.S. Federal Reserve continued easing monetary policy during the period with three 25 basis point cuts resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. However, market volatility and the conflict in Iran have the Fed cautious on future reductions in the fed funds target rate in 2026 due to economic uncertainty and the long-term impact of a potential prolonged war.
