ResQ Strategic Income Fund Class A (RQIAX)

Overview

The fund is designed for investors seeking to diversify their investment portfolio across various fixed income securities domestically and internationally, including emerging markets. It aims to accomplish its investment objectives by allocating assets into a mix of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that in turn invest in a wide array of fixed income securities. These securities span multiple categories, including government, agency, and corporate debt, which may have different interest rate structures such as fixed, variable, or floating rates. The strategy behind this approach is to offer investors exposure to a broad range of debt instruments, thereby intending to mitigate risks and capitalize on different interest rate environments across the globe.

Products and Services

• Mutual Funds

  One of the core components of the fund's portfolio includes investments in mutual funds that specialize in fixed income securities. These mutual funds may focus on different sectors, geographic regions, or interest rate environments, offering a diverse exposure to global fixed income markets. This diversification serves to spread out risk and potentially increase returns from a wide variety of sources.

• Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

  Alongside mutual funds, the fund invests in ETFs that target fixed income securities. ETFs provide the advantages of stock-like trading with the diversification benefits similar to mutual funds. They often entail lower expense ratios and provide easier access to specific markets or sectors in the fixed income space, including government bonds, corporate debt, and emerging market securities. This portion of the portfolio enhances liquidity and operational efficiency in the investment strategy.

• Domestic and Foreign Fixed Income Securities

  The underlying funds within the portfolio are invested in a broad spectrum of fixed income securities from both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. This includes government bonds, agency securities, and corporate debentures, among other debt instruments. They may feature various interest configurations such as fixed, variable, and invertible rates, catering to different investor preferences and market conditions. Including both domestic and international fixed income securities enables the fund to capture growth opportunities worldwide and hedge against domestic market volatility.

• Emerging Markets

  Part of the fund's unique strategy involves investments in emerging markets through the selected underlying funds. These markets, while potentially more volatile, offer the possibility of higher returns compared to developed markets. This exposure allows investors to benefit from the economic growth and expansion in emerging economies, diversifying their investment portfolio further and tapping into new sources of income.
