Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objectives are to provide securityholders with monthly distributions and to preserve capital while providing the opportunity for long-term capital appreciation. The Fund has been created to invest in an actively managed portfolio comprised primarily of fixed income securities of global issuers, including corporate bonds (investment grade and high yield) and government bonds (developed and emerging markets).

Investment Strategy

The Fund is actively managed by the portfolio sub-advisors. In order to achieve its investment objectives, the portfolio sub-advisors will opportunistically invest across the spectrum of global government and corporate debt securities, of any quality or term. In addition, the portfolio sub-advisors will actively manage the fund's regional, country and currency allocations, and may invest in securities from both developed and emerging markets.
