Investment Objectives

The NBI Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total return, consistent with preservation of capital. The fund invests, directly or indirectly through investments in securities of other mutual funds or through the use of derivatives, in a diversified portfolio composed mainly of fixed-income securities of issuers located throughout the world with various maturities and credit ratings.

Investment Strategy

The fund seeks to achieve its objective by managing portfolio duration, credit risk, and volatility. The fund has significant latitude to pursue opportunities across the fixed-income spectrum, and is not managed or compared to any specific index. The fund has the flexibility to invest across different sectors, credit ratings, maturities and geographic regions, including moving between sectors or across credit risk, and may have long, short or negative duration.
