The fund seeks to achieve total return from capital appreciation and income by investing principally in income-producing U.S. Dollar denominated debt securities with an emphasis on the High Yield (i.e. below investment grade) market. The Portfolio will invest under normal circumstances at least two thirds of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of debt securities that are rated below Investment Grade. The Portfolio will not generally purchase debt securities rated below “C” by S&P or by Moody’s or that have an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, or are unrated and believed to be of similar quality. All ratings apply at the time the investment is made. If the rating of a security changes subsequent to purchase, the security may continue to be held at the Sub-Advisor’s discretion. The Portfolio may invest secondarily in other securities and may employ other investment strategies that are not principal investment strategies.
