Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks to provide income with an emphasis on capital preservation by investing primarily in investment-grade government and corporate debt securities from developed and emerging markets globally. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

Investment Strategy

In managing the Fund, the portfolio sub-advisor allocates assets based on analyses of economic factors such as projected international interest rate movements, industry cycles and political trends. However, the portfolio sub-advisor may invest up to 100% of the Fund's assets in any one sector. Within each sector, the portfolio sub-advisor looks for securities that are appropriate for the overall Fund in terms of yield, credit quality, structure and industry distributions.
