The fund’s Class M shares gained 5.81% for the year ended May 31, 2026. That result compares with a 5.13% gain for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index.
What factors influenced results
During the fund’s fiscal year, U.S. corporate bonds posted strong returns. The U.S. economy remained resilient, although a softening labor market prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts over the period. Treasury yields varied, ending the period at their highest level since January. Meanwhile, credit spreads tightened modestly, underpinned by strong investor demand and resilient corporate fundamentals.
Within the fund, holdings in electric utilities and Treasuries sectors were particularly additive to results, relative to the benchmark. Similarly, holdings in consumer noncyclicals, insurance and cash & money markets added to relative returns.
Conversely, investments in energy and banking-related bonds weighed on results relative to the benchmark. To a l
e
sser degree, holdings within technology and consumer cyclical sectors detracted. Additionally, exposure to derivatives, duration and curve positioning detracted from the overall results.
