Fund Commentary

Data as of 05/31/2026

Market

Geopolitics remained center stage during May. While a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran remained in effect, the Strait of Hormuz stayed largely closed, constraining energy markets and keeping oil prices elevated. Economic data continued to show a resilient U.S. economy, with moderate growth, stable labor markets, and inflation remaining above the Federal Reserve’s (Fed's) target. Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation increased to 3.3% year-over-year in April, supported in part by rising technology-related prices as demand for AI infrastructure continued to outpace supply. While we continue to expect that cooling income growth and slower job growth should eventually support further disinflation, we acknowledge that resilient economic growth and a labor market that remains close to equilibrium could cause inflation to remain higher in the near term.

Market participants continued to reflect expectations that the Fed may need to increase policy rates to dampen inflation. This contrasted with the anticipated rate cuts that had been priced into markets prior to the Middle East conflict. As a result, the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 14 basis points (bps) to 4.0%, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increased 6 bps to 4.44%. Credit markets remained resilient despite higher rates, and heavy issuance across both corporate and securitized sectors was met with strong investor demand.

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) – a measure of the overnight secured borrowing rate in the U.S. – ended the month at 3.63%. At month-end, the three-month term SOFR rate was 3.66%, and the three-month U.S. Treasury bill closed at 3.68%.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the primary risk remains the evolution of the Middle East conflict. Persistently elevated energy prices could place additional upward pressure on inflation while weighing on consumer spending and economic growth.

We maintain a long duration position, although modestly trimmed from April levels reflecting our view that the next move in policy rates will be lower, even if the timing is delayed. On the credit market side, we remain constructive that a stable economy should prove supportive. We continue to selectively and incrementally add exposure in securitized sectors where structural protections remain strong and yield premiums remain attractive. Our focus remains on generating attractive income while prudently managing risk.

A.

The 30-day SEC yield represents the dividends and interest earned for a 30-day period, annualized, and divided by the net asset values per share at the end of the period. The SEC yield is computed under a standardized formula which assumes all portfolio securities are held to maturity. This value may differ from the actual distribution rate of the Fund.

B.

Represents a 30-day SEC yield without adjusting for fee waivers or expense reimbursements.

C.

Effective duration is a measure of the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

D.

Payden & Rygel has contractually agreed to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver or Expense Reimbursement to 0.30%. This agreement has a one-year term ending February 28, 2027. Please note that the 0.30% expense level does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses.

E.

Morningstar rates funds from one to five stars based on how well their risk-adjusted performance compares to similar funds. Within each Morningstar Category, the top 10% of funds receive five stars, the next 22.5% four stars, the middle 35% three stars, the next 22.5% two stars, and the bottom 10% receive one star. Funds are rated for up to three time periods—three-, five-, and 10 years—and these ratings are combined to produce an overall rating. Funds with less than three years of history are not rated. Ratings are objective, based entirely on a mathematical evaluation of past performance. They’re a useful tool for identifying funds worthy of further research, but shouldn’t be considered buy or sell recommendations. Morningstar does not adjust total returns for sales charges (such as front-end loads, deferred loads, and redemption fees). Total returns do account for the expense ratio, which includes management, administrative, 12b-1 Distribution fees, and other costs that are taken out of assets.

F.

Quoted performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For the most recent month-end performance, which may be higher or lower than that quoted, select this link or call 800 572-9336.

G.

Returns less than one year are not annualized.

H.

Expenses are lower than 68% of the funds reporting expense ratios included in the Morningstar U.S. Ultrashort Bond Category as of March 2026.

I.

This is not a money market fund. The share price will fluctuate.

J.

Mutual funds are required by the IRS to distribute substantially all realized profits they earn to shareholders on at least an annual basis. If a fund has net gains from the sale of securities, or if it earns dividends or interest from securities, the fund must distribute those earnings to its shareholders. All distributions are taxable, unless an investor's shares are held in a tax-deferred or tax-exempt account such as an IRA. Payden shareholders have the option to receive their distributions in cash or to automatically reinvest the distribution back into the Fund. This information is not intended to provide tax advice. Please consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your circumstances. Dividends shown are historical and not guaranteed. Amounts may vary and do not predict future income.

K.

The minimum initial investment may be modified for certain financial intermediaries that submit trades on behalf of underlying investors. Payden Funds’ distributor may lower or waive the minimum initial investment for certain categories of investors at their discretion.

L.

Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest) and are subject to change. Security ratings are assigned using the highest rating of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. If a security is unrated by Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch, then we use the rating from other nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations (NRSROs).

For more information and to obtain a prospectus or summary prospectus, select this link or call 800 572-9336. Before investing, investors should consider investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information, which is contained in these documents; read the prospectus carefully before investing. The Payden Funds are distributed through Payden & Rygel Distributors, member FINRA.

General Risk Disclosures

Interest Rate Risk: As with most funds that invest in debt securities, the income on and value of your shares in the Fund will fluctuate along with interest rates. When interest rates rise, the market prices of the debt securities the Fund owns usually decline. When interest rates fall, the prices of these securities usually increase.

Foreign Securities Risk: Investment in foreign securities entails certain risks from investing in domestic securities, including changes in exchange rates, political changes, differences in reporting standards, and, for emerging-market securities, higher volatility.

High-Yield Securities Risk: Investment in high-yield securities entails certain risks from investing in investment-grade securities, including higher volatility, greater credit risk, and the issues’ more speculative nature.
