| Investment Objective: |
The Short Term Strategic Income ETF seeks to generate a high level of current income with diversified exposure to fixed income sectors. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds. To keep current income relatively stable and to limit share price volatility, the Fund emphasizes investment grade securities and maintains a short (typically 3.5 years or less) average portfolio duration, with the goal of being between 75-125% of the market benchmark duration (for this purpose, the benchmark used is Bloomberg US Government/Credit Float Adjusted 1-5 Year Index, the duration of which as of June 30, 2023 was 2.62 years). The maximum average duration of any individual portfolio security will be 8 years. |
