Investment objective & strategy

As of Jan. 28, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The Floating Rate Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income.

Strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Floating Rate Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of income-producing senior secured and unsecured floating rate bank loans and other floating rate instruments. The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income through comprehensive fundamental analysis and compounding interest income. The Fund also seeks to preserve capital by avoiding defaults and minimizing both interest rate volatility and credit risk. The loans and other instruments in which the Floating Rate Fund invests include bank loans ( i.e. , loan assignments and participations) to corporate borrowers, traditional corporate bonds, notes, debentures, zero-coupon bonds, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other corporate debt instruments, … Under normal market conditions, the Floating Rate Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of income-producing senior secured and unsecured floating rate bank loans and other floating rate instruments. The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income through comprehensive fundamental analysis and compounding interest income. The Fund also seeks to preserve capital by avoiding defaults and minimizing both interest rate volatility and credit risk. The loans and other instruments in which the Floating Rate Fund invests include bank loans ( i.e. , loan assignments and participations) to corporate borrowers, traditional corporate bonds, notes, debentures, zero-coupon bonds, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other corporate debt instruments, and obligations of the U.S. Government and government-sponsored entities. A substantial portion of the Floating Rate Funds net assets may be comprised of covenant lite loans. The Fund may invest in corporate fixed-income instruments and loans of any maturity or credit quality. The Fund may invest without limit in loans, bonds or other debt obligations rated lower than Baa by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or BBB by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) ( i.e. , junk bonds and loans), and may also invest without limit in Rule 144A and restricted fixed-income securities; provided, however, that the Floating Rate Fund may only invest up to 20% of its total assets in fixed-income instruments. The Fund generally invests in high yield instruments rated Caa or better by Moodys or CCC or better by S&P, but retains the discretion to invest in even lower-rated instruments. The Floating Rate Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign fixed-income instruments, including those denominated in U.S. dollars, such as Yankee bonds, or other currencies, and may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in initial public offerings (IPOs) and other unseasoned companies. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in convertible bonds, up to 15% of its total assets in other investment companies, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks, and up to 10% of its total assets in when-issued securities. The Fund may also utilize leverage of no more than 33% of the Funds total assets as part of the portfolio management process. Leverage is the practice of borrowing money to purchase investments, for instance, by borrowing money against a line of credit. The Fund may also create leverage by borrowing money against a margin account where the Funds portfolio holdings and cash serve as collateral for the loan. The Fund may also hold equity positions, particularly equity positions received as a result of a restructuring of a debt insturment held by the Fund. The Floating Rate Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market instruments for temporary defensive purposes.
