Investment objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of debt and equity securities. The Fund has significant ability to invest in a broad range of investments and may shift its investments from one asset class to another based on the Sub-Advisers analysis of the best opportunities for the Funds portfolio in a given market. The equity securities in which the Fund invests consist of common stock, including those with dividend yields the Sub-Adviser believes are attractive, convertible securities and equity-linked notes (ELNs). Debt securities include all varieties of fixed, floating and variable rate instruments, including secured and unsecured bonds, bonds convertible into common stock, senior floating rate and term loans, mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, debentures, and shorter term instruments.
Bond investments may include U.S. and foreign corporate debt, U.S. Treasuries and foreign government bonds. Under normal market conditions, the Fund currently expects to invest between 20% to 30% of its total assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade (also known as high-yield or junk bonds), but may invest up to 35% of its assets in such securities, including a portion in defaulted securities, although the Fund will not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities that are defaulted at the time of purchase. The Fund maintains the flexibility to invest in securities of companies from a variety of sectors, but from time to time, based on economic conditions, the Fund may have significant investments in particular sectors, particularly healthcare, financials and industrials.
The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, either directly or through depositary receipts. The Fund may lend its securities to increase its income. The Fund regularly uses a variety of equity-related derivatives and complex equity securities, which may include purchasing or selling call and put options on equity securities and equity security indices, futures on equity securities and equity indices and options on equity index futures and equity-linked notes, for various purposes including enhancing Fund returns, increasing liquidity, gaining exposure to particular instruments in more efficient or less expensive ways and/or hedging risks relating to changes in certain equity markets. In addition, the Fund may, from time to time, use interest rate-related derivatives, including interest rate swaps and interest rate and/or bond futures contracts (including U.S.
Treasury futures contracts) for various purposes including enhancing Fund returns, increasing liquidity, gaining exposure to particular instruments in more efficient or less expensive ways and/or hedging risks relating to changes in interest rates. The Fund also may use currency-related derivatives, such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, currency futures contracts, currency swaps and currency options to hedge (protect) against currency risks, and credit-related derivatives, such as credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps, to hedge (protect) against credit risks. The use of such derivative transactions may allow the Fund to obtain net long or net short exposures to selected markets, interest rates, countries or durations. The Funds Sub-Adviser searches for undervalued or out-of-favor securities it believes offer opportunities for income today and significant growth tomorrow.
It generally performs independent analysis of the debt securities being considered for the Funds portfolio, rather than relying principally on the ratings assigned by rating organizations. In analyzing both debt and equity securities, the Sub-Adviser considers a variety of factors. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in equity-linked notes. Equity-linked notes are hybrid derivative-type instruments that are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more reference securities (usually a single stock, a stock index or a basket of stocks (underlying securities)) and a related equity derivative, such as a put or call option, in a single note form. The Fund may also buy and sell exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and options on ETFs. When choosing equity investments for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser applies a bottom-up, value oriented, long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a companys securities relative to the Sub-Advisers evaluation of the companys long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow potential.
The Sub-Adviser also considers a companys price/earnings ratio, profit margins and liquidity value, among other metrics.
