Fund Description

To pursue its goal, the Fund invests mainly in floating rate senior secured loans issued in U.S. dollars by U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships and other business entities (borrowers). These loans are often at the time of investment below investment grade securities (commonly known as “junk” or “junk bonds”). The Fund considers debt securities to be below investment grade if, at the time of investment, they are rated below the four highest categories by at least one independent credit rating agency or, if unrated, are determined by the Portfolio Managers to be of comparable quality. Floating interest rates vary with and adjust to reflect changes in a generally recognized base interest rate or the prime rate. The Fund generally seeks to focus on loans of companies that the Portfolio Managers believe have the ability to generate cash flow through a full business cycle, maintain adequate liquidity and have access to both debt and equity capital, but may invest in loans of distressed companies.

The Fund may also purchase fixed-rate loans, second lien loans, unsecured loans, investment grade and below investment grade fixed income securities, including investment grade short term debt obligations, convertible securities, money market instruments, repurchase agreements, and restricted securities.

The Portfolio Managers will seek positive returns through in-depth credit research utilizing proprietary analytics processes to assess the strength of a company’s credit profile, examples of which include but are not limited to: their ability to pay principal and interest, their cash flow and balance sheet composition, and their market position relative to competitors. As part of their fundamental investment analysis the Portfolio Managers consider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors they believe are financially material to individual investments, where applicable, as described below. While this analysis is inherently subjective and may be informed by internally generated and third-party metrics, data and other information, the Portfolio Managers believe that the consideration of financially material ESG factors, alongside traditional financial metrics, may improve credit analysis, security selection, relative value analysis and enhance the Fund’s overall investment process. As part of this analysis, the Portfolio Managers also regularly engage with the management teams of issuers on issues that the Portfolio Managers believe are material to the credit risk of an issuer. The specific ESG factors considered and scope and application of integration may vary depending on the specific investment and/or investment type. The consideration of ESG factors does not apply to certain instruments, to the extent applicable, such as certain derivative instruments, other registered investment companies, cash and cash equivalents. The consideration of ESG factors as part of the investment process does not mean that the Fund pursues a specific “impact” or “sustainable” investment strategy.

In addition, the Portfolio Managers adjust portfolio weightings based on their analysis of general and sector-specific economic and market conditions, while seeking to diversify across industries, companies and investment size.

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in floating rate securities (including loans) and other investment companies that provide investment exposure to such floating rate securities. The Fund will not alter this policy without providing shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. This test is applied at the time the Fund invests; later percentage changes caused by a change in Fund assets, market values or company circumstances will not require the Fund to dispose of a holding.
