Fund Description

The High Yield Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in higher-yielding, higher-risk debt securities rated below investment grade by the major rating agencies (or in similar unrated securities), commonly known as “junk bonds.” Debt securities may include fixed and floating rate bonds, bank debt, and convertible debt securities. With respect to the remaining 20% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund may invest in securities such as investment grade debt securities, U.S. Treasury Securities (typically with maturities of 60 days or less), money market funds, and equity investments, including dividend paying stocks, convertible stocks, and preferred stocks. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in sponsored or unsponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and securities of foreign companies that are traded on U.S. stock exchanges and U.S. over-the-counter markets.
The Fund maintains a flexible investment policy which allows it to invest in debt securities with varying maturities. The lowest rated debt security that the Fund will hold is D quality (defaulted securities). Although the Fund will not purchase D quality debt securities, the Fund may continue to hold these securities and will sell them at the discretion of Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser” or “KCM”). The Fund has no limitation on principal, interest, or reset terms on debt securities held in the Fund.
The Adviser performs extensive fundamental investment research to identify investment opportunities for the Fund. When evaluating investments and the credit quality of rated and unrated securities, the Adviser looks at a number of past, present, and estimated future factors, including: (1) financial strength of the issuer; (2) cash flow; (3) management; (4) borrowing requirements; (5) sensitivity to changes in interest rates and business conditions; and (6) relative value. The Fund may invest in companies in any sector. The Adviser may sell the Fund’s investments to secure gains, limit losses, or reinvest in more promising investment opportunities.
