Fund Description

To pursue its goal, the Fund normally invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated, High-Yield Bonds (as defined below), with an emphasis on debt securities rated below investment grade (commonly called “junk bonds”). For purposes of this Fund, High-Yield Bonds are generally defined as those debt securities that, at the time of investment, are rated in the lowest investment grade category (BBB by S&P Global Ratings, Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or comparably rated by at least one independent credit rating agency) or lower or, if unrated, determined by the Portfolio Managers to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest in floating rate senior secured loans issued in U.S. dollars by U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships, and other business entities. The Fund considers floating rate senior secured loans to be High-Yield Bonds. The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in loans, including in participation interests in loans.

The Fund normally expects to have a weighted averaged maturity between five and ten years. The Fund endeavors to manage credit risk through disciplined credit analysis and diversification of credit quality. The Fund intends to opportunistically rotate quality and sector exposures throughout the credit cycle, maintaining a higher quality bias in High-Yield Bonds when the Portfolio Managers believe an economic downturn is underway and increasing lower quality holdings of High-Yield Bonds when the Portfolio Managers believe an economic expansion is underway. With regard to interest rate risk, the Portfolio Managers are sensitive to the overall duration of the portfolio in relation to its benchmark and evaluate the duration of potential new portfolio acquisitions in conjunction with their credit analysis. The Fund invests its assets in a broad range of issuers and industries.

The Portfolio Managers will seek positive returns through in-depth credit research utilizing proprietary analytics processes to assess the strength of a company’s credit profile, examples of which include but are not limited to: their ability to pay principal and interest, their cash flow and balance sheet composition, and their market position relative to competitors. As part of their fundamental investment analysis the Portfolio Managers consider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors they believe are financially material to individual investments, where applicable, as described below. While this analysis is inherently subjective and may be informed by internally generated and third-party metrics, data and other information, the Portfolio Managers believe that the consideration of financially material ESG factors, alongside traditional financial metrics, may improve credit analysis, security selection, relative value analysis and enhance the Fund’s overall investment process. As part of this analysis, the Portfolio Managers also regularly engage with the management teams of issuers on issues that the Portfolio Managers believe are material to the credit risk of an issuer. The specific ESG factors considered and scope and application of integration may vary depending on the specific investment and/or investment type. The consideration of ESG factors does not apply to certain instruments, such as certain derivative instruments, other registered investment companies, cash and cash equivalents. The consideration of ESG factors as part of the investment process does not mean that the Fund pursues a specific “impact” or “sustainable” investment strategy.

In addition, the Portfolio Managers analyze and adjust weightings based on general and sector-specific economic and market conditions, while seeking to diversify across industries, companies and investment size.

The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments as a means of hedging risk and/or for investment or efficient portfolio management purposes, which may include altering the Fund’s exposure to currencies, interest rates, inflation, sectors, industries and individual issuers. These derivative instruments may include futures, forward foreign currency contracts, and swaps, such as total return swaps, credit default swaps and interest rate swaps.

The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), if the investment companies invest principally in the types of investments in which the Fund may invest directly.

The Fund does not normally invest in or continue to hold securities that are in default or have defaulted with respect to the payment of interest or repayment of principal, but may do so depending on market, company-specific or other conditions. The Fund may invest in or continue to hold securities that the Portfolio Managers believe have ratings or other factors that imply an imminent risk of default with respect to such payments. The Fund may also invest in restricted securities.

In an effort to achieve its goal, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including obligations of issuers in emerging market countries, denominated in any currency, but the Fund normally will not invest more than 20% of its net assets at the time of investment in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.

The Fund is suitable for investors who seek a total return in excess of the return typically offered by U.S. Treasury securities and who are comfortable with the risks associated with investing in a portfolio made up mainly of intermediate-term, U.S. dollar-denominated, High-Yield Bonds.

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in High-Yield Bonds (as defined above) and other investment companies that provide investment exposure to such bonds. The Fund will not alter this policy without providing shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. This test is applied at the time the Fund invests; later percentage changes caused by a change in Fund assets, market values or company circumstances will not require the Fund to dispose of a holding.
