What this fund is
Objective, as filed

Aristotle Floating Rate Income Fund (the Fund) seeks a high level of current income.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests principally in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities, at least 80% of assets, selecting individual securities through a sub-adviser's fundamental research that combines bottom-up issuer analysis with top-down market assessment; the sub-adviser targets non-investment grade instruments or unrated debt of comparable quality, and may hold up to 20% in other debt types including high yield bonds. Because security selection depends on the sub-adviser's credit analysis and relative value judgments for each potential investment, portfolio composition will reflect those determinations.

Cumulative return, last three years· Jul 2023 – May 2026

Volatility over the last 12 months: 2.15%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

The 4 share classes hold the same portfolio

Share classExpense ratio1 year3 years5 yearsWorst fall
1.05%+5.74%+26.16%—-1.30%
0.80%+6.02%+27.06%—-1.25%
0.72%+6.09%+27.34%—-1.24%
1.80%+4.87%+23.24%—-1.42%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 4.10pp spread over 3 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.37pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

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 2026Q2

Interest-rate moves barely touch this fund — but its credit exposure is real: a 100bp widening in credit spreads costs roughly 3.5%. Duration alone would have told you none of that.

0.08 yr
approx. move per 100bp
3.51 yr

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.

Credit spreads98%
Interest rates2%

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.

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.
