Principal investment strategy
The fund may invest in a wide spectrum of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities, as well as derivative instruments. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests both in securities directly and in shares of unaffiliated underlying investment funds, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that invest in a wide range of asset classes. The fund may invest in companies with any market capitalization. The fund's fixed-income investments are not subject to any credit rating or maturity limitations and may be issued by companies and government and supranational entities around the world, including high-yield, below-investment-grade securities (junk bonds). The fund may invest in emerging as well as developed markets and may invest a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in particular economic sectors.
The manager may allocate assets based on various asset classes, sectors, duration, credit quality, or geographic mix and may reallocate assets based on its ongoing analyses of capital markets. The fund may also invest in a broad range of additional securities, including global preferred securities, bank loans, convertible securities, and other fixed-income securities. Some loans may be illiquid. The fund also may invest extensively in derivative instruments to hedge against market losses or rate changes or for non-hedging purposes, including to invest indirectly in securities or financial markets, to gain foreign currency exposure, to manage efficiently, or to generate additional income. Derivatives may include futures, options, and swaps and may relate to equity securities, fixed-income securities, interest rates, total return rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, and related indexes.
The fund also may invest in restricted or illiquid securities. The fund may invest in unaffiliated investment companies, including ETFs, that focus their investments on alternative or non-traditional asset categories such as commodities, market neutral (long/short), global real estate, natural resources, TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), foreign currency trading strategies, managed futures, arbitrage strategies, and tactical investment strategies. The fund may also invest in exchange-traded notes (ETNs). The fund may enter into short sales of securities either to realize appreciation if a security that the fund does not own declines in value or as a hedge against potential declines in the value of a fund security. The fund and/or the unaffiliated underlying funds in which it invests may trade securities actively.
