The primary objectives of the Fund are to generate capital gains, preserve capital and make monthly distributions by investing primarily in securities that can benefit from changes to interest rates and credit spreads. The Fund aims to maintain low volatility and low correlation with traditional equity and fixed income markets. The Fund may use leverage through the use of cash borrowings, short sales and derivatives.
The Fund invests primarily in, and sells short securities of, issuers generally located in North America. The Fund principally holds investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities, broadly diversified by issuer and industry. It may also hold other securities, including floatingrate bank loans, convertible bonds, equities, warrants, real estate investment trusts, ETFs, and collateralized debt and loan obligations.
