Fund Description
The Floating Rate Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in floating rate bonds or loans. The Fund’s portfolio is typically well-diversified with short duration below investment grade floating rate syndicated loans and notes (i.e., loans or notes for which the portfolio’s risk from a rising interest rate environment is low because the interest rates of the holdings “float” or reset periodically) that the Advisor believes have attractive risk/reward characteristics and which are issued by U.S. and foreign corporations. The Fund typically purchases securities rated from BB+ to B- by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch, Ba1 through B3 by Moody’s, or which are deemed equivalent by the Advisor. Instruments that fall in this rating category are also known as high yield bonds (or loans) or “junk bonds.” The Fund will not be required to sell holdings that fall to a rating below this ratings parameter. Floating rate instruments in which the Fund invests may be unsecured or backed by receivables or other assets. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, of which 10% may include securities in emerging market countries. As this is a credit-focused fund, investments may also include asset-backed securities (“ABS”) including mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and securities backed by other forms of loans or securities. The Fund may invest in mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) which invest in any of the previously mentioned types of fixed income securities and such investments in fixed income mutual funds and ETFs will be included in the Fund’s 80% test. The mutual funds and ETFs in which the Fund invests have an investment objective similar to that of the Fund or are otherwise permitted investments in accordance with the Fund’s investment policies described herein.
Although the Advisor will consider ratings assigned by ratings agencies in selecting high yield floating rate instruments, it relies principally on its own research and investment analysis. The Advisor selects floating rate bonds and loans based on a rigorous bottom-up evaluation of each company and each security in the Fund’s portfolio. As applicable, the Advisor considers both company-specific quantitative and qualitative factors such as: a company’s managerial strength and commitment to debt repayment, anticipated cash flow, debt maturity schedules, borrowing requirements, use of borrowing proceeds, asset coverage and earnings prospects; impacting legislation, regulation, litigation, transparency, market perspective or other environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) risks; and the strength and depth of the protections afforded the lender through the documentation governing the bond or syndicated loan issuance. The types of ESG factors that the Advisor believes can impact financial risks derive from, among other issues: changes to regulations, changes to consumer preferences, technology advancements, climate impacts, litigation risks, efficiency, brand value,
innovation, market disruption/obsolescence, respect for human rights, anti-corruption, anti-bribery matters, and social license to operate. A security may be excluded or rejected on the basis of poor ESG performance which Muzinich believes implies heightened risk and/or may result in the security being less liquid. In line with this, securities ineligible for investment by the Norges Bank Investment Management Company are also ineligible for inclusion in the Fund.
The Advisor seeks to reduce the risk to the Fund from rising interest rates, which will typically result in falling bond prices, by investing principally in securities with interest rates that reset periodically. The Advisor believes that this floating rate approach reduces the risk to the portfolio from rising interest rates.
The Fund may use derivatives in various ways. The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for taking a long or short position in the reference asset or to gain exposure to certain asset classes; under such circumstances, the derivatives may have economic characteristics similar to those of the reference asset, and the Fund’s investment in the derivatives may be applied toward meeting a requirement to invest a certain percentage of its net assets in instruments with such characteristics. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge (or reduce) its exposure to a portfolio asset or risk. The Fund may also use derivatives to manage cash. By investing in derivatives, the Fund attempts to achieve the economic equivalence it would achieve if it were to invest directly in the underlying security.
The portfolio is actively managed and the Fund may sell a holding when it has already met or no longer meets the portfolio managers’ expectations, no longer offers compelling relative value, shows deteriorating fundamentals, or if it falls short of the portfolio managers’ expectations. Tax consequences are not a primary consideration in the Fund’s investment decisions. Although the Fund will typically not purchase bonds or loans that are already in default, the portfolio managers may decide to continue to hold a bond or loan (or related securities) after a default. There is no limit on the amount of defaulted securities the Fund may hold.
