The Adviser conducts a bottom-up fundamental analysis of an issuer before its securities are purchased by the Fund. The fundamental analysis involves an evaluation by a team of credit analysts of an issuer's financial statements in order to assess its financial condition. The credit analysts also assess the ability of an issuer to reduce its leverage (i.e., the amount of borrowed debt).The bottom-up fundamental analysis is supplemented by an ongoing review of the securities' relative value compared with other junk bonds, and a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends, such as changes in interest rates.The portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund's risk by limiting the portfolio's assets that are invested in any one security, and by diversifying the portfolio's holdings over a number of different industries. Although the Fund is actively managed, it is reviewed regularly against its style specific benchmark index (the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index) and its peer group index (the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index) to assess the portfolio's relative risk and its positioning.Decisions to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value considerations of the investment professionals that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund's macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund's exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer's credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund.
