BNDI ISSUER
The Neos Funds' BNDI issuer, an actively-managed ETF, predominantly invests in a diversified portfolio of bonds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) primarily focused on bonds, aiming to maintain at least 80% of its assets in such investments.

While primarily focusing on investment-grade debt securities, it may allocate up to 30% of its assets to high-yield securities.
