Duration is a measure of sensitivity of the price of a debt instrument to a change in interest rates. Duration is a weighted average of the times that interest payments and the final return of principal are received. The weights are the amounts of the payments discounted by the yield-to-maturity of the debt instrument. Duration is expressed as a number of years. The bigger the duration number, the greater the interest rate risk or reward for the debt instrument prices. For example, the price of a bond with an average duration of 5 years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if market interest rates rose by 1%. Conversely, the price of a bond with an average duration of 5 years would be expected to rise approximately 5% if market interest rates dropped by 1%./spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.30pt;margin-left:0%;"The Portfolio may use derivatives, including futures, swaps (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.30pt;"swaps), and options, among others, to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in debt instruments, or as a substitute for a position in an underlying asset.

Among the factors considered, the Sub-Adviser expects typically to take into account environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors to determine whether one or more factors may have a material effect. In considering ESG factors, the Sub-Adviser intends to rely primarily on factors identified through its proprietary empirical research and on third-party evaluations of an issuer’s ESG standing.
