The fund's main objective is to generate substantial current income while diligently preserving the capital invested. It accomplishes this by diversifying across a broad spectrum of debt securities, including corporate bonds and obligations from sovereign, quasi-sovereign, and supranational entities. The portfolio may also incorporate mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities and federal agencies (even if not fully backed by the U.S. government), along with other asset-backed securities representing interests in pools of mortgages or various income-generating assets like consumer loans or receivables. A significant portion, specifically at least 40%, of the fund's assets will be allocated to investments outside the United States. While emphasizing capital preservation, up to 15% of its holdings can consist of bonds rated below investment grade (e.g., BB/Ba+ or lower, or unrated but deemed equivalent by the investment adviser at purchase), encompassing high-yield corporate debt or securities from developing country governments and companies. Despite its global reach, the fund is structured to maintain at least 90% of its currency exposure in U.S. dollars.
