Help Enhance Your Core Portfolio With a Flexible, Multi-Sector Approach

Help Enhance Your Core Portfolio With a Flexible, Multi-Sector Approach For Investors Seeking a High Level of Total Return Volatility and uncertainty in financial markets have left many bond investors embracing fresh approaches in their search for income and ways to help manage market risk. Traditional income strategies have typically helped anchor fixed income core portfolios. However, given potentially higher interest rates and market sensitivity, investors may need to rethink these strategies for their core holdings. Consider expanding your core portfolio to include a multi-sector solution that has the potential to take advantage of changing market conditions across the broader fixed income universe and has the flexibility to adapt to rapidly changing environments. The SunAmerica Strategic Bond Fund can help you navigate today’s market uncertainties and may enhance your core portfolio.

A Flexible Multi-Sector Fixed Income Solution

Low Interest Rate Sensitivity

Long-Term Results Through Multiple Market Cycles

The geographic and sector diversification within multi-sector fixed income strategies may provide investors with higher yield and low interest rate sensitivity. However, moving away from typical, domestic benchmarkdriven core strategies can intimidate investors.

The ability to shift allocations has helped enable the Fund to perform well over multiple market cycles and manage the effects of rising interest rates. Relatively low exposure to government bonds has enabled the Fund to move independently, as demonstrated by its zero correlation to US Treasuries.1 This has helped shield investors from losses when rates have risen.

The SunAmerica Strategic Bond Fund is managed by PineBridge Investments, a global, multi-asset class investment manager with proven expertise in fixed income markets. The Fund combines strategic asset allocation and bottom-up security selection to provide total return potential throughout changing market conditions.

The SunAmerica Strategic Bond Fund adopts a measured approach to fixed income investing, with broad, yet transparent guidelines and a keen eye towards managing risk.

For example, consider what happened from 2004-2006, when the Fed Funds Rate increased by more than 4%. During this period, the Fund generated a cumulative return of 26.8%, or an average of 8.2% per year. Of course, past performance does not guarantee future results.

Active Allocation to Help Diversify Holdings and Enhance Returns Designed as a “core” fixed income holding, the Fund has the flexibility to shift its investment focus to potentially capitalize on the most attractive areas of the fixed income markets. Flexible investment guidelines within given ranges enable the portfolio management team to adapt to changing conditions. The Fund employs the same approach used to manage accounts for large pension funds and other sophisticated investors, leading to a management style where prudent risks are undertaken to help deliver commensurate rewards.
