Under normal circumstances, the EBS Income Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of income producing securities. These securities may include, but are not limited to, corporate and municipal bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, mortgage and asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, convertible bonds, floating rate and inverse floating rate securities, zero coupon bonds, loans, money market instruments (including commercial paper) and shares of other RICs. The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity, credit quality or market capitalization. This may include securities that are rated below investment grade (below the four highest ratings by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, or Fitch Ratings, commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” securities) and those with smaller market capitalizations. The Fund will invest primarily in domestic securities or foreign securities that are U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund may also invest in individual fixed and variable rate interest income producing secured notes and secured notes with a fixed or variable rate and shared appreciation component. Each note would represent a loan made to an individual or entity. Such notes would be acquired by the Fund through direct origination with the borrower.
The EBS Income Fund may seek modest capital appreciation by investing up to 10% of its net assets in equities, including common stock, preferred stock, and convertible preferred stock. The Fund may invest in money market instruments at any time to maintain liquidity or pending selection of investments.
The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded fixed income securities and those that are privately placed but eligible for purchase and sale by certain qualified institutional buyers, as defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Illiquid securities are investments that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed within seven calendar days in current market conditions without impacting the market value of the investment. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in securities or other investments that are illiquid. The Fund may also purchase indebtedness and participations in commercial loans. Such investments may be secured or unsecured.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser will attempt to identify securities that it believes offer an attractive yield and total return relative to the Adviser’s evaluation of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Using fundamental security analysis, the Adviser seeks to identify securities that may have a comparatively higher yield than another security of similar credit quality or duration, securities whose price may increase in anticipation of an interest rate decline, securities that have potential for a credit upgrade, and securities of companies that have the ability or potential to generate adequate cash flow and earnings to meet interest and principal payments when due. The Adviser’s credit and equity analysis typically contemplates, among other factors, a company’s balance sheet, capital structure, access to capital, ability to sustain and/or grow its business, its competition, and the global environment in which the company operates.
