ABS include, but are not limited to, private and multi-class structures, pass-through certificates, and other instruments secured by financial, physical, and/or intangible assets. MBS include, but are not limited to, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and credit risk transfer securities (“CRTs”) issued by government sponsored entities or private issuers. The Fund will typically enter into “to be announced” or “TBA” commitments when purchasing MBS, which allows the Fund to agree to pay for certain yet-to-be issued securities at a future date and which may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls which allow the Fund to sell securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract with the same counterparty to repurchase similar securities on a specified future date./span/p p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center"span style="-sec-ix-redline: true" /span/p p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-left: 0pt; text-indent: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt"span style="-sec-ix-redline: true"In addition to its investments in securitized securities, the Fund may from time to time also invest in certain other fixed-income securities and/or hold cash and cash-equivalents (such as U.S. Treasuries)./span/p p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center"span style="-sec-ix-redline: true" /span/p p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-left: 0pt; text-indent: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt"span style="-sec-ix-redline: true"The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity or duration and the securities may have fixed, floating, or variable interest rates./span/p p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center"span style="-sec-ix-redline: true" /span/p p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-left: 0pt; text-indent: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt"span style="-sec-ix-redline: true"The Fund will normally invest a substantial portion of its assets in securities rated investment grade (that is, securities rated Baa3/BBB- or higher, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the Adviser).
