The fund primarily focuses on investing a significant portion of its assets in floating rate loans and other types of floating rate debt securities. With a strategy designed to navigate through varying market conditions, the fund opts for investments that offer income primarily from the interest payments of these floating rate instruments. These are financial tools whose interest rates adjust periodically based on market conditions, providing a hedge against interest rate risks. The fund aims to leverage the benefits of floating rate loans, including higher interest income during periods of rising interest rates, reduced sensitivity to rate changes, and a level of protection against credit risk, to fulfill its investment objectives.
The fund's cornerstone investment product involves floating rate loans and other debt securities. These instruments have variable interest rates that move with market benchmarks, such as the LIBOR or prime rate, making them appealing in environments where interest rates are expected to rise. The fund focuses on these securities to capitalize on their potential for income and protection against the risk of increasing interest rates.
Up to 25% of the fund's total assets may be invested in senior loans extended to borrowers domiciled outside the United States or in other foreign securities. This includes securities issued by companies in emerging market countries, which may be denominated in either U.S. dollars or non-U.S. currencies. This diversification strategy aims to tap into the growth potential of foreign markets and companies, possibly achieving higher returns compared to domestic investments alone, while also exposing the fund to additional risks related to foreign exchange and geopolitical uncertainties.
