The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are investment grade, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.

Principal Risks:  Fixed income securities are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to: Interest rate risk is the danger that changes in interest rates may cause a decline in the market value of an investment. Credit risk is the risk that the bond issuer may not be able to pay interest or return principal due to changes in the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or underlying collateral. Market risk, or systematic risk, is the risk that results from the characteristic behavior of an entire market or asset class. Below investment grade securities, also known as high yield or junk securities, may be considered speculative and may be subject to greater market and credit risks. Accordingly, the risk of default may be higher than with investment grade securities. In addition, these securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes and may be more likely to make early returns of principal. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Prepayment risk is the risk that debt issuers may repay or refinance their loans or obligations earlier than anticipated.  Duration risk measures the sensitivity of a bond’s price to a one percent change in interest rates. The higher a bond’s duration, the greater its sensitivity to interest rates changes.
