On March 16, the Federal Reserve (Fed) approved a 0.25% rate hike and signaled more to come, including the possibility of 0.50% hikes in both May and June 2022. This hawkish stance confirms our belief that a strong US economy can more than absorb rising geopolitical risks and potential supply-side inflation pressures. The market agrees. As of late March 2022, the federal funds futures curve is pricing nine additional rate hikes over the next 12 months.

Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Loans can be difficult to value and less liquid than other types of debt instruments; they are also subject to nonpayment, collateral, bankruptcy, default, extension, prepayment, and insolvency risks. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, event and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory, and counterparty risk. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than US investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic, and regulatory developments. • The Fund’s investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. ● Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended. ● Changes related to LIBOR could have an adverse impact on financial instruments that reference this rate.
