Investment objective & strategy

As of Aug. 26, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. In seeking current income and long-term capital appreciation, the Fund has significant flexibility and invests across asset classes and geographies, according to the advisers or subadvisers assessment of their valuations, fundamental characteristics, and income levels. The Fund invests in investment companies such as ETFs which could represent a significant percentage of the Funds assets. The Fund generally expects to invest at least 20% (or, if market conditions are not deemed favorable, at least 10%) of its assets in securities of issuers domiciled outside of the United States and may invest up to 100% of its assets in such securities. The Fund invests in income-generating equity securities, which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and master … In seeking current income and long-term capital appreciation, the Fund has significant flexibility and invests across asset classes and geographies, according to the advisers or subadvisers assessment of their valuations, fundamental characteristics, and income levels. The Fund invests in investment companies such as ETFs which could represent a significant percentage of the Funds assets. The Fund generally expects to invest at least 20% (or, if market conditions are not deemed favorable, at least 10%) of its assets in securities of issuers domiciled outside of the United States and may invest up to 100% of its assets in such securities. The Fund invests in income-generating equity securities, which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and master limited partnerships (MLPs). The Fund may invest in companies of any size from any country, including emerging markets. The Fund also invests in fixed-income securities of varying maturity, duration, and quality. These may include U.S. and non-U.S. corporate debt securities, U.S. and non-U.S. government debt securities, emerging-market debt securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, convertible securities, loans (including covenant lite loans) and floating-rate notes. The Fund may invest up to 60% of its assets in fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds) or, if unrated, are determined by the Funds subadviser(s) to be of comparable quality. The Fund may also invest in derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign currency contracts, for risk management purposes, including to hedge its currency exposure, or as part of its investment strategies. Multimanager Approach The Fund uses a multimanager approach, meaning the adviser may allocate assets to one or more subadvisers, in addition to open- and closed-end investment companies, ETFs, and individual securities (collectively Allocation Decisions). The adviser and each subadviser acts independently from the others and uses its own investment style and process to select securities, within the constraints of the Funds investment objective, strategies, and restrictions. Morningstar is responsible for selecting the investment strategies and making Allocation Decisions, with the goal of generating income and maximizing return in the context of pursuing the Funds investment objective with a prudent level of risk for the strategy. Morningstar may change subadvisers, subject to the oversight of the board of trustees, and sell holdings at any time.
