| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ During the reporting period, market expectations for both the timing and number of rate cuts fluctuated significantly as inflation slowed and employment data showed some signs of softening. The US Federal Reserve's easing cycle—which began in September of 2024 with a 50-basis-point (bp) rate cut followed by two separate 25-bp cuts—was preceded by a re-steepening of the US Treasury curve and greater market volatility due to election and fiscal uncertainty. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) As demand for yield remained robust, credit spreads largely tightened, and performance across fixed income sectors was positive. ■ The following contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Bloomberg 1-5 Year US Credit Index (the Index) during the period: security selection in US investment-grade corporates and US high yield corporates; positioning in AAA collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and non-agency AAA commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS); underweights to the sovereign credit and emerging-markets investment-grade sectors; credit positioning in banking, electric utilities, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, midstream energy, and technology; and having more risk over the period, on average, than the Index (from a market perspective). ■ The following detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in US Treasuries, largely driven by the use of futures. ■ During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives in the form of credit default swaps to manage credit risk, as well as financial futures, options, and forwards to help manage on performance. |

The US Federal Reserve's easing cycle—which began in September of 2024 with a 50-basis-point (bp) rate cut followed by two separate 25-bp cuts—was preceded by a re-steepening of the US Treasury curve and greater market volatility due to election and fiscal uncertainty. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) As demand for yield remained robust, credit spreads largely tightened, and performance across fixed income sectors was positive. ■ The following contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Bloomberg 1-5 Year US Credit Index (the Index) during the period: security selection in US investment-grade corporates and US high yield corporates; positioning in AAA collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and non-agency AAA commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS); underweights to the sovereign credit and emerging-markets investment-grade sectors; credit positioning in banking, electric utilities, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, midstream energy, and technology; and having more risk over the period, on average, than the Index (from a market perspective). ■ The following detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in US Treasuries, largely driven by the use of futures. ■ During the period, the Fund utilized derivatives in the form of credit default swaps to manage credit risk, as well as financial futures, options, and forwards to help manage duration positioning and yield curve exposure. Overall, the use of these derivatives had a negative impact on performance. |
