Past performance is not a guide to future performance, which will vary. The value of investments and any income from them will fluctuate and is not guaranteed (this may partly be due to exchange rate changes). Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur. Ownership interests in a fund are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits, obligations of, or endorsed or guaranteed in any way, by BNY Mellon (as further defined below). Neither BNY Mellon nor any of its controlled affiliates (which includes any fund’s general manager/ managing partner/ investment adviser), may directly or indirectly, guarantee, assume, or otherwise insure the obligations or performance of the fund or of any other covered fund in which such fund invests.

Targeted returns intend to demonstrate that the strategy is managed in such a manner as to seek to achieve the target return over a normal market cycle based on what Insight has observed in the market, generally, over the course of an investment cycle. In no circumstances should the targeted returns be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction that a specific strategy will reflect any particular performance or that it will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result or that investors will be able to avoid losses, including total losses of their investment.

Certain information shown herein is derived from a representative account deemed to appropriately represent the management styles herein. Each investor’s portfolio is individually managed and will vary from the information shown. The mention of a specific security is not a recommendation to buy or sell such security.

These benchmarks are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Benchmark performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment strategy. There may be material factors relevant to any such comparison such as differences in volatility, security selection, risk profiles and regulatory and legal restrictions between a particular strategy and its associated benchmark.

Our intermediate fixed income strategy seeks consistent alpha above US corporate credit benchmarks, delivered mostly through credit sector and security selection (not macro bets) with diverse risk allocations precisely scaled using proprietary tools.

Our US long duration strategy seeks to mitigate asset-liability risk and/or capture the value available in long-dated bonds. This strategy is suited to investors that have long-dated liabilities. It blends long duration US government and credit securities with the goal of maximizing risk-adjusted excess return. The strategy seeks to take advantage of pricing and spread inefficiencies in long-dated fixed income assets as well as to enhance returns with modest opportunistic use of non-benchmark assets. Strong risk controls are integral to the manaement of the strategy. This strategy is benchmarked to the Barclays Capital US Long Government/Credit index.
