    Seeks income-producing instruments: European government and high quality European corporate bonds

    Investments

    Short-term bonds issued by European national governments. Will also invest in high-quality European corporate securities.

    Additional Information

    Effective June 1, 2017, the benchmark for the European Short Bond Fund was changed to the 80% Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Treasury (1-3 Yr) Index/20% Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Corporate (1-3Yr) Index.
