Investment Objectives

The fund seeks above-average income with potential for long-termcapital growth by investing primarily in global high-yield fixed income securities, either directly or through other mutual funds

Investment Strategy

The sub-advisor combines top-down analysis of macroeconomic conditions with bottom-up fundamental analysis in order to determine where the most attractive valuations exist during the business cycle. The sub-advisor’s valuation process is primarily focused on identifying and investing in bonds that have attractive real- and risk- adjusted yields and securities the sub-advisor believes are undervalued by the credit markets. Quantitative and qualitative screens are used in this assessment.
