Fund Description

The objective of this Sub-fund is to provide its investors with a long-term appreciation of their capital. It invests in a diversified bonds portfolio with at least two thirds of its net assets invested in high-yield debt securities or similar high-yield instruments denominated in USD and the issuer of which is rated lower than “investment grade” as defined by at least one of the main principal world rating agencies (Baa3 by Moody’s or its equivalent with any other of such rating agencies) or by the Sub-Manager’s internal credit process, or in instruments for which no rating has been awarded to the issuer. These securities will predominantly include high yield bonds (including, without limitation, unregistered (Rule 144A) notes, as well as floating and variable rate notes). The Fund is actively managed, and the Fund’s manager's discretionary powers are not constrained by the index.
