The Fund is not constrained by management against any index and allows the adviser broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of fixed income instruments. Actively managed sector betas include Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), non-Agency MBS, commercial MBS, global developed credit, high yield, international, emerging markets fixed income and U.S. government sectors.
The Fund seeks current income and capital appreciation by actively allocating across fixed income sectors using duration management based on the manager’s view of, among other factors, future interest rates and market conditions. The manager retains broad discretion to modify the Fund’s duration within a wide range, including construction of a portfolio of investments with a negative duration.

Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
Investments in ABS and MBS include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
The fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets.
The fund may use leverage which may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the Fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used.
Derivatives involve special risks including correlation, counterparty, liquidity, operational, accounting and tax risks. These risks, in certain cases, may be greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments.
Investing in ETFs involves additional risks such as the market price of the shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value ("NAV"), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund's ability to sell its shares.
The fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested.
