Trying to understand this fund: PSLDX

Trying to figure out why this fund is not more popular:

https://www.pimco.com/en-us/investments/mutual-fu…

It is essentially:

100% exposure to the S&P 500 + 100% exposure to a diversified intermediate/long bond mix - 100% short term borrowing cost (i.e. 3 month LIBOR) - 0.59% expense ratio

Seems to me that it is virtually guaranteed to beat the S&P as long as the yield curve is not inverted.

Since inception in 2007 (through two market crashes) it has returned 15% CAGR compared to the S&P’s 8%, with similar volatility and drawdown risk.

Thoughts?
