Fund Description

The Fund will seek capital appreciation and current income in its attempt to maximize total return. In doing so, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in bonds and other fixed-income securities. These may include:
∎
Obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, including obligations issued by private issuers that are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities;
∎
Obligations of U.S. state and local governments, and foreign governments;
∎
Obligations of domestic and foreign banks and corporations;
∎
Debentures and convertible securities;
∎
Mortgage and other asset-backed securities;
∎
Inflation-indexed securities;
∎
Stripped securities evidencing ownership of future interest or principal payments on debt obligations; and
∎
Repurchase agreements relating to the above instruments.
The Fund may also seek to obtain exposure to these securities through investments in affiliated or unaffiliated investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).
Although the Fund will generally invest primarily in investment grade domestic debt obligations (i.e., obligations rated within the top four rating categories by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) or of comparable quality as determined by NTI), it may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in domestic and foreign debt obligations that are rated below-investment grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). Credit ratings are determined at the time of purchase.
The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
In buying and selling securities for the Fund, NTI uses a relative value approach. This approach involves an analysis of general economic and market conditions. It also involves the use of models that analyze and compare expected returns and assumed risks. Under the relative value approach, NTI will emphasize particular securities and types of securities (such as treasury, agency, asset-backed, mortgage-related and corporate securities) that the team believes will provide a favorable return in light of these risks.
The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity, under normal circumstances, will range between one and three years.
From time to time the Fund may have a focused investment (i.e., investment exposure comprising more than 15% of its total assets) in one or more particular sectors. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund had a focused investment in the financials sector.
NTI may engage in active trading, and will not consider portfolio turnover a limiting factor in making decisions for the Fund.
