The index is an unmanaged index that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market.

The index returns reflect the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index. The impact of any transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The Lipper Fund Awards are based on the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rating, which is a risk-adjusted performance measure calculated over 36, 60 and 120 months.
