DMBS

DMBS provides targeted exposure to residential mortgages. The portfolio holds investment grade, government-backed and privately issued residential mortgage securities of any maturity or duration, including mortgage-related derivatives (e.g., inverse floaters). The fund may also invest in other fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents, as well as open- and closed-end investment companies and ETFs. In selecting the fund holdings, the adviser considers available yield, duration characteristics, collateral quality, risk correlation, supply/demand, and sponsor quality. The fund allocates at least 50% of its assets in residential mortgage securities guaranteed by the US government, its agencies, and instrumentalities. As an actively managed fund, the adviser has full discretion to manage the portfolio interest rate, credit, prepayment, and duration risks. Although, the adviser intends to have a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration within two years than that of its benchmark index. The fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes.
