The investment seeks to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital, while limiting fluctuations in net asset value (NAV) due to changes in interest rates. The Sub-Advisor applies a time-tested approach and extensive credit research to capitalize on opportunities across undervalued areas of the bond markets. The fund principally invests in investment-grade securities, which are securities with credit ratings within the four highest rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, those securities that the Sub-Advisor determines to be of comparable quality.
