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 |

| MARKET | |
| The U.S. Treasury yield curve shifted higher in April, with the yields for the three-year and five-year maturity U.S. Treasury Notes increasing 0.03% and 0.05% respectively. The German Bund curve also shifted upwards, with the three- year and five-year German Bund yields increasing by 0.04% and 0.05% respectively. | |
| The yield above treasuries for front end investment grade corporates decreased 0.03% over the month. | |
| Total investment grade corporate issuance for the month was $92 billion, higher than the previous five-year April average of $88 billion. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| We believe that 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 Open Market Committee maintained its targeted range for the Fed Funds rate at 2.25% - 2.50% in April and indicated that they are unlikely to change their policy stance for the foreseeable future. We continue to extend our treasury duration within portfolios to maintain a more neutral stance with respect to interest rate sensitivity. | |
| We continue to maintain a high allocation to credit given the additional yield premium. However, we maintained a bias towards a shorter average maturity to limit the portfolio sensitivity to changes in credit risk premiums. | |
