## Frequently Asked Questions

### What does CGUI invest in?

The fund aims to deliver consistent current income while prioritizing the preservation of capital, adhering to an extremely short-term investment profile. It predominantly allocates assets to high-quality, short-term debt instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. These include various money market vehicles like commercial paper and certificates of deposit, alongside debt issued by the U.S. government, corporations, and asset-backed securities. A significant portion of the fund's holdings will be investment-grade debt, meaning securities must typically have a short-term credit rating of at least P-2, A-2, or F2, or a long-term rating of at least BBB- or Baa3, as determined by recognized rating agencies or deemed to be of comparable quality by the investment adviser. While primarily focused on higher-rated debt, up to 5% of the portfolio may be allocated to securities with slightly lower credit quality, specifically those rated from BB+ or Ba1 down to BB- or Ba3. The fund typically aims for an average portfolio duration not exceeding one year, with a dollar-weighted average maturity usually kept under two years. A notable characteristic is its allocation of over 25% of assets to debt securities from companies within the financial services sector. Furthermore, the fund has the flexibility to make considerable investments in debt instruments whose economic ties are to non-U.S. countries, encompassing those issued by foreign corporations, governments, and their associated agencies. At least 80% of the portfolio will be invested in income-generating bonds and other debt instruments, which can include synthetic exposure through derivatives. The fund may utilize derivatives like futures contracts and swaps. These financial tools derive their value from an underlying asset (such as a stock, bond, or currency), a specific reference rate, or a market index.

### What is the yield to maturity of CGUI?

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from CGUI if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. CGUI's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. It differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
