Investment Objective
HUF.U seeks to generate income that is consistent with prevailing U.S. short-term corporate bond yields while reducing the potential effects of U.S. interest rate fluctuations on HUF.U. HUF.U invests primarily in a portfolio of U.S. corporate debt (including debt-like securities) directly, and hedges the portfolio’s U.S. interest rate risk by maintaining a portfolio duration that is not more than one year. HUF.U may also invest in U.S. government debt securities, as well as debt securities of non-U.S. companies. HUF.U may also invest in debt indirectly through investments in securities of other investment funds, including Listed Funds. HUF.U uses derivatives, including interest rate swaps, to deliver a floating rate of income.
