Morningstar Defensive Bond Fund (MSTBX) Diversifiers

The investment seeks capital preservation. The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of debt securities (commonly referred to as "bonds") of varying maturity, duration, and quality. Under normal conditions, the advisor intends to pursue a defensive strategy of limiting its interest-rate sensitivity by maintaining a portfolio duration of three years or less. In most market environments, the fund will not invest more than 20% of assets in fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds), or if unrated, are determined by the fund's subadviser(s) to be of comparable quality.
