Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities and/or investments that, at the time of purchase, have similar economic characteristics as fixed income securities that are non‑investment grade (high yield /junk bond), and are considered by the Fund to have the potential to provide a high level of total return. For purposes of this policy, the term “assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in other securities, including investment grade securities. The Fund may also invest in loans.
Non‑investment grade securities are securities rated Ba1 or BB+ or below by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), respectively, a similar rating from a recognized rating agency, or unrated securities deemed comparable by the Fund. The Fund will normally invest at least 70% of the Fund’s assets in security holdings issued by U.S.-domiciled entities.
The Fund will invest, either directly or indirectly (e.g. via derivatives such as credit linked notes, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps), primarily in fixed income securities that are non‑investment grade. Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, interest rate, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and forwards as tools in the management of
portfolio assets. The Fund may use such derivatives through either the creation of long and short positions to hedge various investments, for
investment purposes, for risk management and/or in a manner intended to increase income or gain to the Fund.
The Advisor and Sub‑Advisor incorporate material environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors as part of the investment process.
The Advisor and Sub‑Advisor employ ESG Exclusion / Negative Screening as part of the investment process in managing the Fund. ESG Exclusion / Negative Screening is defined as the exclusion of certain sectors, issuers or practices based on specific ESG considerations determined by the Advisor or Sub‑Advisor, as applicable.
The ESG Exclusion / Negative Screening applied by the Advisor and Sub‑Advisor includes:
•
Non‑compliance with the UN Global Compact Principles;
•
Producers of controversial weapons, including, but not limited to, cluster munitions, anti-personnel mines, chemical and biological weapons and depleted uranium;
•
Tobacco producers; and
•
Certain thresholds of involvement in thermal coal mining and power generation.
The Advisor and Sub‑Advisor may also facilitate ESG engagement, which is defined by the Advisor and Sub‑Advisor as the interactions between the Advisor and Sub‑Advisor, as applicable, and current or potential investees (which may be companies, sovereign, supranational and agency issuers (SSA) and/or other stakeholders of relevance to the investees on ESG issues). The Advisor or Sub‑Advisor may undertake ESG engagement to seek to gain insight regarding an issuer’s ESG practices and/or improve an issuer’s ESG disclosure. For example, the Advisor or Sub‑Advisor may engage with management of certain issuers regarding governance practices as well as what the Advisor or Sub‑Advisor deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues.
For specific issuer and security types, as well as certain investment exposures, fixed income securities held by the Fund are subject to the Advisor’s and/or Sub‑Advisor’s ESG evaluation. The Advisor’s and Sub‑Advisor’s ESG evaluation is part of the Advisor’s and Sub‑Advisor’s wider credit analysis. The Advisor and Sub‑Advisor use in‑house ESG research supplemented by external third-party ESG information.
