Investment Objectives

> To provide total returns comprised of interest income and modest capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in long and short positions of investment grade fixed-income securities issued by sovereign governments and entities, and corporations from anywhere around the world. It may also invest in high-yield debt securities and emerging-market sovereign and corporate bonds globally. The fund may engage in short sales, borrowing and/or derivatives for investment purposes. We will not change

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s objectives, the portfolio manager: invests primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities rated BBB(-) and above by Standard & Poor’s (or equivalent rating agency) and across global interest rates, sovereign and non-sovereign credit, currencies, cash and derivatives; may seek to generate performance in all environments by investing in long and short positions.
