Our read on EVSD
In short
CA 1992-vintage short-duration credit strategy wearing an ETF wrapper: it measures itself against the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Credit Index and can hold up to a quarter of assets in high yield, at below the typical cost in its bond peer group.
Stated mandate
The proposed ETF was designed to have the same investment objective and a similar principal strategy as the predecessor short-duration income portfolio, while allowing up to 25% of net assets in high-yield debt instruments.
