Fund Description
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund is a diversified fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio, a series of Kinetics Portfolios Trust. “Total Return” sought by the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio consists of income earned on the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio’s investments, plus capital appreciation. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio utilizes a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed-income components, including fixed-income exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and senior secured corporate loans, and derivatives components. Under normal circumstances, the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio will invest at least 65% of its net assets in fixed-income securities (which includes CLOs and corporate loans), derivatives and cash or cash equivalents committed as collateral for written option contracts.
There is no limit on the amount of assets the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may invest in fixed-income securities. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may invest in the debt tranches of CLOs.The CLO debt tranches may have any stated maturity and may be rated (at time of issuance), from “AAA” to and including “B-” (or equivalent by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”)), or if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the Investment Adviser. An NRSRO is a credit rating agency that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that issues credit ratings that the SEC permits other financial firms to use for certain regulatory purposes.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may invest up to 35% of its net assets in senior secured corporate loans, issued by either public or privately owned companies. Senior secured corporate loans will be first lien or second lien loans, have maturities of up to 8 years, and may be 100% rated below investment grade by an NRSRO.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its total assets in selling equity put options. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may also invest in U.S. Treasury note futures; selling or buying equity calls, bond calls, and bond put options, as well as other derivatives, to manage risk or to enhance return. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may also buy puts on specific underlying equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
The Investment Adviser uses a bottom-up approach in managing the Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund, which means that the focus is on the analysis of individual securities. By engaging in quantitative and
qualitative analysis of individual securities, the Investment Adviser examines an investment’s current valuation, income potential, risk adjusted return and credit profile.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio will invest in CLOs and senior secured corporate loans with a minimum initial total offering size of $250 million, that are floating rate and are U.S. dollar denominated. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may purchase CLOs and senior secured corporate loans in both the primary and secondary markets.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio will generally not invest more than 5% of its portfolio in any single investment measured at the time of purchase. It is intended that the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio will hold between 20 to 75 investments with a position weighing between 1% to 5% per security. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may temporarily deviate from this diversification weighting due to, among other reasons, market conditions and the initial size of the fund as determined by the Investment Adviser, in its sole discretion. The Investment Adviser may sell a security due to changes in credit characteristics or outlook, as well as changes in portfolio strategy or cash flow needs. A security may also be sold and replaced with one that presents a better value or risk adjusted return profile. The Investment Adviser may actively trade Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio securities.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may maintain during a temporary period, which could be for a short period or a longer period lasting several years or more, of abnormal conditions, a significant portion of its total assets in cash and securities, generally considered to be cash and cash equivalents, including, but not limited to: high quality, U.S. short-term debt securities and money market instruments. The Investment Adviser will invest in such short-term cash positions to the extent that the Investment Adviser is unable to find sufficient investments meeting its criteria. Additionally, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, which may persist for short or long periods of time, the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its assets in the types of high quality, U.S. short-term debt securities and money market instruments described above.
If the market advances during periods when the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio is holding a large cash position, the Portfolio may not participate as much as it would have if it had been more fully invested in securities. In the aforementioned temporary defensive periods, the Investment Adviser believes that an additional amount of liquidity in the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio is desirable both to meet operating requirements and to take advantage of new investment opportunities. When the Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio holds a significant portion of assets in cash and cash equivalents, it may not meet its investment objective.
