Products and Services
The index offers distinct investment solutions through its carefully curated selection of bonds, leveraging a comprehensive sampling process to achieve its objectives. The following are the main investment vehicles within its portfolio:
- U.S. Government Bonds: These are secure, medium to long-term investments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The focus on maturities between 5 and 10 years aims to offer a balance between yield and risk, appealing to investors seeking stability and moderate returns.
- Investment-Grade Corporate Bonds: These bonds are issued by corporations with a high credit rating, reflecting a lower risk of default. Targeting investment-grade bonds within the specified maturity range allows the fund to capture potentially higher yields compared to government securities, while still maintaining a conservative risk profile.
- Investment-Grade International Dollar-Denominated Bonds: This category includes bonds issued by foreign governments or corporations in U.S. dollars, which meet the fund's criteria for credit quality and maturity. By including these in the portfolio, the index diversifies its holdings geographically and across sectors, potentially enhancing yield and spreading risk.
