Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks to provide high income and return by investing primarily in a global multi-sector bond portfolio with a focus on the potential for risk-adjusted returns. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The Fund uses an asset allocation strategy to build a broadly diversified portfolio of global debt instruments, including government and corporate bonds; mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities; and preferred stocks. The Fund may invest in assets of non-investment grade securities and foreign currency-denominated securities including those from emerging market countries. The Fund employs a fundamental, valuation driven investment style.
