The funds sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC (the sub-adviser), invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the funds net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities, which may include U.S. government and foreign government bonds and notes (including emerging markets), mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations), corporate bonds of issuers in the U.S. and foreign countries (including emerging markets), convertible bonds and other convertible securities, bank loans and loan participations, structured notes, and preferred securities. Under normal circumstances, at least 50% of the funds net assets will be invested in (a) debt securities rated investment grade or higher (rated at least BBB by Standard & Poors or Fitch or Baa by Moodys) by at least two rating agencies or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the funds sub-adviser; (b) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (c) commercial paper rated Prime, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by NCO/Moodys Commercial Paper Division, Moodys or A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poors; and/or (d) cash or cash equivalents. Up to 50% of the funds net assets may be invested in debt securities that do not meet the investment grade criteria referred to above (commonly known as junk bonds). The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities, such as common stocks, rights, warrants or preferred stock. The fund may invest in securities of any maturity and does not have a target average duration. In managing the funds assets, the sub-adviser uses a combination of a global top down analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environments and global asset classes and proprietary bottom up research of sectors, industries, issuers and individual securities.
In the sub-advisers qualitative top down approach, the sub-adviser analyzes various fundamental, technical, sentiment and valuation factors that affect the movement and relative value of markets and securities prices worldwide. In its proprietary bottom up research of corporate and sovereign debt and other fixed income securities, the sub-adviser considers various fundamental and other factors, such as creditworthiness, capital structure, covenants, cash flows and, as applicable, collateral. The sub-adviser uses this combined approach to determine asset class, sector, security, yield curve and duration positions for the fund. The fund may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate, total return and credit default swaps.
These investment strategies may be employed as a hedging technique, as a means of altering investment characteristics of the funds portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration), in an attempt to enhance returns or for other purposes. The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
