An emerging market country is any country determined by the Adviser or Subadviser to have an emerging market economy, considering factors such as the countrys credit rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets. Emerging market countries include every nation in the world except the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand , Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore and most countries located in Western Europe. Emerging market debt securities include securities issued by: (a) government-related bodies of emerging market countries and/or (b) a corporation that Fund management has determined meets one or more of the following criteria: ? the company is organized under the laws of, or has its principal office in an emerging market country; ? the company has its principal securities trading market in an emerging market country; and/or ? the company derives the majority of its annual revenue or earnings or assets from goods produced, sales made or services performed in an emerging market country. Debt securities, for purposes of the Funds 80% policy, include but are not limited to conventional and index-linked bonds, debt-related interest rate swaps, conventional bonds, inflation-linked bonds and debt-related private placements including securities issued under Rule 144A or Regulation S (Regulation S Securities). The Fund may invest in both investment-grade and high yield securities (commonly referred to as junk bonds). The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity. The Emerging Markets Debt Fund is non-diversified and may invest a significant portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a small number of issuers. The Adviser will seek to identify those instruments that are likely to provide the greatest outperformance, taking account of forward-looking risks. It will assess both the risk-return profile of an individual investment, as well as the risk-return impact of its incremental addition to the Fund as a whole, and then construct a risk-controlled portfolio of instruments. The Adviser examines the material risks of an investment across a spectrum of considerations including financial metrics, regional and national conditions, industry specific factors and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) risks. ESG considerations are fully integrated across all asset classes. Although ESG investing is not a principal strategy of the Fund, the Adviser considers and assesses how these issues are managed and mitigated as well as the opportunities they might create for the issuer. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments. Derivative instruments may be used for hedging purposes and for gaining risk exposures to countries, currencies and securities that are permitted investments for the Fund. The Fund may use derivative instruments as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities or for non-hedging purposes to seek to enhance potential gains. Permitted derivative instruments include, but are not limited to, fixed income futures, non-deliverable forwards and swaps (including, but not limited to, credit default, credit derivative, interest rate, currency and inflation swaps). Derivative instruments may be used to adjust the interest rate, yield curve, currency, credit and spread risk exposure of the Fund, or for other purposes deemed necessary by the Adviser and/or Subadviser to pursue the Funds investment objective. Credit derivatives may be used to adjust the Funds exposure to the emerging market debt sector and/or sell/buy protection on the credit risk of individual issuers or a basket of individual issuers. The Fund may take short positions via derivatives in securities, interest rates, credits, currencies and markets. In complying with the minimum and maximum investment limitations set forth above, the Fund may include investments in derivatives with an underlying asset with economic characteristics similar to the investments included in such limitation.
