BXIEX Investment Objective and Strategy
MassMutual Global Credit Income Opportunities Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by MassMutual Advantage Funds.
Investment objective
This Fund seeks an absolute return, primarily through current income and secondarily through capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Principal Investment Strategies The Fund is managed using an absolute return investment objective, which means that it is not managed relative to the performance of a specific bond index, but rather seeks to generate positive returns over the course of a full market cycle while managing volatility through security selection and possibly hedging to reduce overall exposure to credit and interest rate risk. The Fund seeks absolute total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt instruments (consisting of loans, bonds, and notes). The Fund may invest in a wide range of debt instruments of issuers based in ?U.S. and non-U.S.
markets, including emerging markets, as well as over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives. Investments may be issued or guaranteed by governments and their agencies, corporations, financial institutions, and supranational organizations that the Fund believes have the potential to provide a high total return over time. A significant portion of the Funds investments in debt instruments are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Although the Funds investment in non-U.S. dollar-denominated assets may be on a currency hedged or unhedged basis, under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to hedge substantially all of its exposure to non-U.S. currencies. The Fund may at times have significant exposure to one or more industries or sectors. Under normal market conditions, the Fund allocates its assets among various regions and countries (but in no less than three different countries) and invests at least 40% of its net assets in securities of ?non-U.S.
issuers (or, if less, at least the percentage of net assets that is 5 percentage points less than the percentage of the ICE BofA Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index, represented by non-U.S. issuers, as determined by the provider of the index). Although the ICE BofA Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index is representative of the Funds investable universe, the Fund does not seek to be correlated with that index. The Fund seeks to take advantage of inefficiencies between geographies, primarily the North American and Western European high yield bond and loan markets and within capital structures between bonds and loans. For example, the Fund seeks to take advantage of differences in pricing between bonds or loans of an issuer denominated in ?U.S. dollars and substantially similar bonds or loans of the same issuer denominated in Euros, potentially allowing the Fund to achieve a higher relative return for the same credit risk exposure.
The Fund invests primarily in high yield debt instruments (consisting of bonds, loans, and notes) of North American and Western European corporate issuers that are of below investment grade quality. The Fund invests in instruments that are, at the time of purchase, rated below investment grade (junk or high yield) by at least one credit rating agency (below Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or below BBB- by either S&P Global Ratings, a subsidiary of S&P Global, or Fitch Ratings, Inc.) or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the Funds subadviser, Barings LLC (Barings), or sub-subadviser, Baring International Investment Limited (BIIL). The Fund invests primarily in high yield bonds, loans, and notes, but also makes use of a wide range of debt instruments. The Fund may invest in both fixed and floating rate instruments; listed and unlisted corporate debt obligations; convertible securities; structured products (consisting of ?collateralized bond and loan obligations); bank obligations; U.S.
and non-U.S. government securities; preferred securities and trust preferred securities; asset-backed securities; unsecured loans; delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities; when-issued securities, delayed delivery purchases, and forward commitments; zero-coupon bonds, step-up bonds, and payment-in-kind securities; commercial paper; repurchase agreements; and other investment companies. The Funds investments may include investments in the lowest rating category of the applicable rating agency. The Fund may invest in distressed bonds and loans that are in default at the time of purchase in an effort to protect the Funds existing investment in securities of the same issuers. The Fund also may invest in equity securities (consisting of common and preferred stocks, warrants and rights, and limited partnership interests), but will invest in such equity investments only for the preservation of capital.
The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities or debt instruments issued by emerging market entities or sovereign nations. Emerging market countries are defined to include any country that did not become a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (O.E.C.D.) prior to 1975 and Turkey. The Fund may also use derivatives to a significant extent for risk management and hedging purposes, or for speculative purposes as substitutes for investments in securities in which the Fund can invest in order to achieve the Funds absolute return objective and manage volatility. The Fund may use over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives for a variety of purposes, consisting of: as a hedge against adverse changes in the market price of securities, interest rates, or currency exchange rates; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; and to increase the Funds yield or return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative.
The Fund may establish, through derivatives, net short positions for individual sectors, markets, currencies, or securities, or as a means of adjusting the Funds portfolio duration, credit quality, and maturity. The Fund may invest in over-the-counter and ?exchange-traded derivative instruments provided that, at the time the Fund enters into a derivative transaction, the Fund segregates assets determined to be liquid by Barings or BIIL in accordance with procedures established by the Funds Board of Trustees, in an amount at least equal to any payment or delivery obligation of the Fund in connection with such derivative transaction. The Funds use of derivatives may consist primarily of total return swaps, options, index swaps or swaps on components of an index, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts and futures.
The Fund may invest in investments of any duration or maturity. The Fund may borrow up to one-third of its assets (including the amount borrowed) to fund redemptions, post collateral for hedges, or to purchase loans, bonds, or structured products prior to settlement of pending sale transactions. Securities may be sold when ?Barings or BIIL believes they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities.
