Investment Objective & Strategy

The investment seeks high current income and moderate capital appreciation.

The fund invests in both equity and fixed-income securities that have high income potential. The analysis seeks to identify securities likely to have predictable returns based on a number of strategies such as valuation, market sentiment, profitability and capital use. It may buy or sell foreign currencies or foreign currency forwards in lieu of or in addition to non-dollar denominated fixed-income securities in order to hedge or increase or decrease its exposure to foreign interest rate and/or currency markets.

Morningstar Category: Tactical Allocation

Tactical Allocation portfolios seek to provide capital appreciation and income by actively shifting allocations across investments. These portfolios have material shifts across equity regions, and bond sectors on a frequent basis. To qualify for the tactical allocation category, the fund must have minimum exposures of 10% in bonds and 20% in equity. Next, the fund must historically demonstrate material shifts in sector or regional allocations either through a gradual shift over three years or through a series of material shifts on a quarterly basis. Within a three-year period, typically the average quarterly changes between equity regions and bond sectors exceeds 15% or the difference between the maximum and minimum exposure to a single equity region or bond sector exceeds 50%.

Investment Risks

There are no additional fund specific investment risks (e.g. liquidity risk, currency risk, foreign investment risk, etc.) associated with this fund beyond the normal risks generally associated with investing in a mutual fund.
