C000267180 Investment Objective and Strategy
Sterling Capital Ultra Short Bond ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Sterling Capital Funds.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks to provide current income and competitive total return.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (“ETF”). To pursue its investment objective, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in fixed income securities (bonds). The Fund invests primarily in the following types of fixed income securities: (i) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, some of which may be subject to repurchase agreements; (ii) corporate debt securities, including bonds, notes and debentures, issued by U.S. companies that are investment grade (i.e., rated at the time of purchase in one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or are determined by the portfolio manager to be of comparable quality); (iii) investment grade asset-backed securities; (iv) investment grade mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations; (v) municipal securities; (vi) U.S.
dollar-denominated foreign and emerging market securities; (vii) variable and floating rate instruments; and (viii) collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Additionally, the Fund will invest in convertible securities, including convertible bonds and preferred stocks, and cash equivalents. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in bonds that are below investment grade, which are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. The Fund will maintain an average duration of 18 months or less. The Fund is generally structured to target a dollar-weighted average maturity of between zero and 24 months, although the Fund may invest in individual securities of any weighted average maturity. Duration is the expected life of a fixed-income security and is used to determine the sensitivity of the security’s price to changes in interest rates.
Maturity merely measures the time until final payment is due. Unlike maturity, duration accounts for the time until all payments of interest
