The Two-Year Portfolio seeks to maximize total returns from a universe of high quality, U.S. issued, dollar-denominated fixed income securities maturing in three years or less from the date of settlement. The Portfolio may invest in U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers issued in the U.S., securities of domestic or foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars but not trading in the U.S., foreign government and agency obligations, bank obligations, including U.S. subsidiaries and branches of foreign banks, corporate obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, money market funds and obligations of supranational organizations. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio’s investments will not exceed two years. In making purchase decisions, if the expected term premium is greater for longer-term securities in the eligible maturity range, the Advisor will focus investment in the longer-term area, otherwise, the Portfolio will focus investment in the shorter-term area of the eligible maturity range. The Portfolio principally invests in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, notes and bonds. The fixed income securities in which the Portfolio invests are considered investment grade at the time of purchase (e.g., rated AAA to BBB- by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) or Aaa to Baa3 by Moody’s Investor’s Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)). In addition, the Portfolio is authorized to invest more than 25% of its total assets in U.S. Treasury bonds, bills and notes, and obligations of federal agencies and instrumentalities.
As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Two-Year Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities that mature within two years from the date of settlement.
The Two-Year Portfolio may invest in futures contracts and options on futures contracts. The Portfolio may use fixed income related futures and options contracts, swaps and other types of derivatives to hedge against changes in interest rates. To the extent that it invests in futures contracts and options thereon for other than bona fide hedging purposes, it will not purchase futures contracts or options thereon, if, as a result, more than 5% of its net assets would then consist of initial margin deposits and premiums required to establish such positions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to hedge its interest rate exposure or for non-hedging purposes, such as a substitute for direct investment or to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio.
The Two-Year Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
