The Payden Global Low Duration Fund seeks to benefit from the opportunities available through broadening the investment universe to include issuers and currencies outside of the U.S., while avoiding the volatility of longer-maturity bond funds. The fund is primarily comprised of government securities, investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities from U.S. and foreign issuers. The fund will have a minimum of 40% in non-U.S. securities.
Short-Term Global Bond – Appropriate for investors who desire the diversification available from sovereign and corporate debt of global issuers, but want the lower volatility of a short maturity profile.
| Invests primarily in government securities, investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities from U.S. and foreign issuers | |
| Shorter maturity typically means volatility is less than an intermediate bond fund | |
| Ideal for investors with a short to intermediate horizon who want exposure to the global investment universe | |
| No loads or 12b-1 fees | |
| The value of an investment will generally fall when interest rates rise |

| OUTLOOK | |
| Cash as an asset class is more attractive now than it has been in over a decade as rates have moved higher providing attractive all-in yields with low volatility. | |
| The Federal Reserve (Fed) forecasts two more 0.25% rate hikes in 2019. We continue to utilize floating-rate coupon bonds across a range of sectors as well as maintain an underweight to duration in anticipation of higher front-end rates driven by an active Fed. | |
| We continue to maintain a high allocation to credit given the additional yield premium. We remain highly price sensitive, however, looking to rotate out of expensive securities into those that have more upside. | |
