Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to provide a high income return and some long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in fixed-income securities of corporations throughout the world.

Investment Strategy

The management of the Fund is entrusted to a sub-manager who combines macroeconomic top-down analysis with bottom-up fundamental credit research. The Fund will be investing primarily in investment-grade corporate bonds that have a credit rating of BBB or better, or any superior credit rating set by Standard & Poor (“S&P”) or any equivalent credit rating set by another designated rating agency.
