More About Floating Rate Fund

A Hedge Against Rising Rates

The prices of traditional bonds generally drop as interest rates rise. This happens because as new bonds are issued at higher rates, existing bonds with lower rates become less attractive to investors, causing them to drop in value.

The Fund invests in bank loans that adjust their interest rates every 30, 60, or 90 days, so they may be less affected by rising interest rates.

Attractive Yield and Diversification

The Fund may offer a higher yield than, and low correlation to, traditional bonds; it may add an extra layer of income and diversification to your fixed-income portfolio.

Experienced Management

Bank loans are a small asset class, which makes them difficult for individual investors to access. The Fund is run by a veteran in bank-loan investing, Michael Bacevich. He has been managing bank loans since the asset class was created and is backed by Wellington Management’s deep fixed-income resources.

Credit exposure is the credit ratings for the underlying securities of the Fund as provided by Standard and Poor's (S&P), Moody's Investors Service, or Fitch and typically range from AAA/Aaa (highest) to C/D (lowest). If S&P, Moody's, and Fitch assign different ratings, the median rating is used. If only two agencies assign ratings, the lower rating is used. Securities that are not rated by any of the three agencies are listed as "Not Rated." Ratings do not apply to the Fund itself or to Fund shares. Ratings may change.

Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee a fund will achieve its stated objective. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Investments in high-yield ("junk") bonds can have a greater risk of price volatility illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Loans can be difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are also subject to nonpayment, collateral, bankruptcy, default, extenstion, prepayment and insolvency risks. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments.
Floating Rate Fund should not be considered an alternative to CDs or money market funds. This Fund is for investors who are looking to complement their traditional fixed income investments.
