The fund is focused on achieving its investment objective by dedicating at least 80% of its assets towards a diversified portfolio that includes preferred securities and capital securities. These financial instruments are primarily sourced from both U.S. and non-U.S. financial institutions, encompassing a range of establishments from banks to insurance companies. The unique aspect of these capital securities is their ability to meet the regulatory capital requirements set for these institutions, marking them as critical components for financial stability and compliance.
Preferred securities represent a significant component of the fund's investment portfolio. These securities offer investors a potentially higher yield compared to common stocks and a precedence in the payment hierarchy over common stocks in the event of a liquidation. They blend characteristics of both stocks and bonds, providing an attractive investment option for those looking to diversify their portfolio.
Capital securities form the other core component of the fund’s investment strategy. Issued by U.S. and non-U.S. financial institutions, these securities play a pivotal role in helping these entities satisfy their regulatory capital requirements. Capital securities can offer investors the potential for higher returns, albeit with a higher risk, making them suitable for those with a more aggressive investment strategy.
