Fund Description
The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing, under normal circumstances, in a multi-sector portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. debt securities of varying maturities that portfolio management believes have high income potential relative to other fixed-income instruments available at a given point in time. Portfolio management may also consider the capital appreciation potential of certain investments. The Fund’s investment sectors include, but are not limited to: (i) government notes and bonds; (ii) corporate bonds, including high-yield bonds (also known as “junk” bonds); (iii) commercial loans; (iv) agency and non-agency commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities; (v) asset-backed securities; (vi) convertible securities and preferred stock; and (vii) emerging market debt. Portfolio management believes that by investing in multiple sectors that potentially have low correlation to each other, the Fund’s overall volatility may be reduced. The Fund may not have exposure to all of these investment sectors, and the Fund’s exposure to any one investment sector will vary over time. Due to the nature of the securities in which the Fund invests, it may have relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other funds.The Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities are limited to 65% of its net assets, but under unusual circumstances, such as when new issue allocations are higher than expected, this limit may be exceeded on a temporary basis.The Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in the commercial loans sector. Such investments may include bank loans, bridge loans, debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) loans, mezzanine loans, and other fixed and floating rate loans. Normally, the Fund’s exposure to the commercial loans sector will be approximately 15% of the Fund’s total assets. The Fund may invest in floating rate obligations, including collateralized loan obligations, credit risk transfer securities (“CRTs”), floating rate senior secured syndicated bank loans, floating rate unsecured loans, and other floating rate bonds, loans and notes. The Fund may also invest in zero-coupon bonds. The Fund may enter into “to be announced” or “TBA” commitments when purchasing mortgage-backed securities or other securities. The Fund may also invest in securities that have contractual restrictions that prohibit or limit their public resale, which may include Rule 144A securities.Additionally, the Fund may invest its assets in derivatives. Derivative instruments have a value derived from, or directly linked to, an underlying asset, such as fixed-income securities, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices. In particular, the Fund may use swaps, including index credit default swaps, commercial mortgage-backed securities index swaps, and single-name credit default swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, interest rate futures, and put and call options. The Fund may use derivatives for various investment purposes including for hedging purposes, such as to manage portfolio risk or currency risk, to enhance returns, or manage duration. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives will vary. The Fund may engage in short sales of derivatives instruments.Portfolio management’s investment process is research-driven, incorporating“top-down”and “bottom-up” factors to identify and manage exposure to risks across sectors,industries, and individual investments. Portfolio management evaluates expected risk-adjusted returns on a portfolio and position level by analyzing fundamentals,valuations, and market technical indicators.This research encompasses both traditional fundamental analysis and data driven quantitative models and signals from such models.As part of its investment process, portfolio management considers environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) risks and opportunities (“ESG Factors”) that it believes are financially material, alongside other fundamental investment factors. Examples of potential financially material ESG Factors include corporate governance, company culture, exposure to climate change, and human capital management. To assess ESG Factors, portfolio management uses issuer reports, third-party data, and internally-generated analyses and may engage directly with issuers. ESG Factors are one of many considerations in the investment decision-making process and may not be determinative in deciding to include or exclude an investment from the portfolio.The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
