Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The primary investment objective of the Fund is to maximize current income . As a secondary investment objective, the Fund will seek capital appreciation , but only when consistent with the Fund's primary investment objective of current income.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high-yield fixed income instruments rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's or BB+ or lower by S&P, or comparable instruments, with day-to-day management delegated to a subadviser. The subadviser employs top-down economic analysis and bottom-up fundamental research to select securities, considering factors including credit quality, yield, spread, and total return potential. The fund may also hold up to 20% in foreign government and corporate fixed income securities and preferred stock, and up to 10% in foreign currency-denominated debt. Because security selection depends on the subadviser's internal ratings and outlook assessments, fund performance will diverge from any benchmark.

These positions come to 107.42% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q1

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying nearly as much.

Interest-rate duration
2.69 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
2.26 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

Interest rates54%
Credit spreads46%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
