The Fund is not restricted by country or industry sector, although portfolio diversification is a consideration in the selection of securities of the Fund. The Fund is expected to hold no fewer than 30 securities. No more than 10% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s assets will be invested in accordance with the following maximums: investment grade corporate bonds (maximum 25%); high yield corporate bonds (maximum 75%); and senior loans (maximum 75%).

*The yield-to-worst is the lowest potential yield that can be received on a bond, assuming there is no default. It is calculated based on the lowest yield on a bond, calculated to each call date (where applicable). For bonds that are not callable, the yield-to-worst is the same as the yield-to-maturity.
