The Fund may also invest in investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities (including commercially backed ones), convertible bonds, and sovereign and emerging market debt (both U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated).The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging markets. An “emerging market” country is any country determined by the Adviser to have an emerging market economy, considering factors such as the country’s credit rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets.The Fund utilizes derivatives primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Fund’s duration, or interest rate risk. The Fund may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over the counter market.The Fund may also pursue its investment strategy by investing in other mutual funds managed by the Adviser or an affiliate.The Adviser uses fundamental, quantitative and technical investment research techniques to determine what to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects while quantitative and technical techniques involve a more data-oriented analysis of financial information, market trends and price movements.
