Objective
Seeks to provide high current income and long-term total return.
Overview
A fund that typically invests in U.S. bank loans, global bank loans, and high-yield debt.
High Income Potential in a Low-Yield World
The Fund invests primarily in bank loans, which may provide higher yields than traditional bonds; their yields may also increase when interest rates rise.
To enhance the potential for yield, the Fund also has a strategic allocation to international bank loans and high-yield bonds.
Less Sensitivity to Rising Rates
By combining domestic bank loans, international bank loans, and high-yield bonds, the Fund provides exposure to investments that are historically less affected by rising rates. This lower sensitivity to rising rates can help diversify nearly any fixed-income portfolio.
Experienced Management
Bank loans are a smaller asset class than many other types of bonds, which makes them difficult for individual investors to access. The Fund’s management team averages over 25 years of investment experience and is backed by the full resources of sub-adviser Wellington Management.
The portfolio managers are supported by the full resources of Wellington.
