Our read on OVB
In short
BCore bonds with a twist: investment-grade U.S. debt measured against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate, plus a listed short-put overlay run for income. An active spin on the most commoditized corner of the bond market.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks total return through exposure to investment-grade, U.S.-dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds. It also uses listed short-term put options in an overlay intended to generate income.
