Seeking income in excess of money market funds
We believe that a value-oriented, total return, risk-managed approach to fixed income investing should produce competitive long-term performance. We integrate top-down views and risk management with a bottom-up valuation process. Within the ultra-short duration universe, we believe in a high quality, multi-sector approach that invests in three distinct, diversified pools of risk.

Why now?
- Rising interest rates: ultrashort bonds can help investors manage risk in a rising rate environment. We take minimal rate risk with a target 0.25 duration1
- Low yield environment: compelling yield opportunity
- Significant floating rate exposure may help manage risk in the rising rate environment
Why this Fund?
- Seeks higher yield: by taking highly diversified credit risk, with minimal interest rate risk
- Multiple levels of risk diversification2: does not take concentrated positions in any single sector to help diversify risk
- High-quality portfolio: the minimum rating of A-, and at least 80% in investment grade securities1
- Has offered higher returns and Sharpe ratios than investment grade-only peer group average, with similar volatility.3
- Diversification across many different U.S. dollar fixed income classes, sectors and credit ratings, which may allow for higher potential returns, but also seek to manage risk.²
- Potential higher returns through the use of three separate risk pools: Liquidity, Intermediate, and Core Layers, the latter offering the ability to invest in less liquid but higher-yielding securities.
Why Amundi?
- Experienced fixed income team
- Our portfolio management team constantly monitor opportunities across different sectors and securities, taking full advantage of the firm’s extensive research capabilities.
