Fund Description
The Fund’s Adviser exercises a flexible strategy in selecting its investments. The flexibility of the Fund’s overall strategy derives from its use of multiple alternative investment strategies to build a portfolio that seeks total return over the long term by investing in instruments believed to have strong risk-adjusted return potential across asset classes. These multiple alternative investment strategies are currently organized into three distinct strategies, described below, with the allocation based on the portfolio managers’ view of the attractiveness of the various strategies and their risks to the Fund, at any given point in time. The Fund’s long and short exposure within each of the strategies may change depending on the portfolio managers’ view of the opportunities available. The Fund will limit its total short sale positions to no more than 40% of its net assets at the time a short sale is entered into. Derivative instruments that provide short market exposure such as options, futures, swaps or forward foreign currency contracts are not deemed to constitute short sale positions for purposes of this limitation. The Fund currently intends to implement its market exposure through derivatives, rather than actual short sale positions (i.e., actual short sales of securities).
Long/Short Equity. Long/Short Equity strategies can include long and short positions in equities, equity-sensitive convertibles and derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and structured notes.
Long/Short Credit. Long/Short Credit strategies can include long and short positions in a variety of fixed-income securities, including loans, asset-backed securities, credit-sensitive convertibles, investment-grade, below-investment-grade and distressed credit, sovereign debt, and derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and structured notes.
Long/Short Macro. Long/Short Macro strategies can include long and short positions that provide exposure to interest rates, credit spreads,
sovereign debt, currencies, commodities, volatility, equities and equity indices, and derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and structured notes.
The Fund’s overall long or short positioning can vary based on market conditions and the Fund may take both long and short positions simultaneously.
To implement the multiple strategies described above, the Fund may hold long and short positions in a variety of instruments, which include:
Equity Securities. The Fund may invest in common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies without regard to the issuer’s location, size, market capitalization or industry sector. The Fund may hold short positions in equity securities of any investment style, including value, core, and growth investing styles.
Fixed Income Securities. The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities, including bonds and notes or other debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies and governments, money market instruments, corporate bonds, and convertible bonds. The Fund can invest in investment-grade or below-investment-grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The Fund may invest without limit in securities that are rated below-investment-grade and at times may invest substantial amounts of its assets in those securities. Investment-grade debt securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s Investors Service or S&P Global Ratings. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund’s Adviser may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund may also invest in other fixed income securities, including asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, participation interests in loans, and pooled investment entities that invest in loans. The Fund may also invest in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable rate loans”) that hold a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred to as “Senior Loans.” Senior Loans may be collateralized or uncollateralized. They typically pay interest at rates that are reset periodically based on a reference benchmark that reflects current interest rates, plus a margin or premium.
Derivatives and Other Assets. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments and other assets, including options, futures, forward contracts, swaps (including on equity and fixed-income securities and indices, commodities, interest rates, currencies and volatility), “structured” notes, mortgage-related securities, equity-linked debt securities, commodity-linked derivatives, and currency derivatives.
The Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in foreign securities, including companies in developed and emerging market countries and has no limit on the amount it can invest in such securities.
The portfolio managers place an emphasis on diversifying assets and strategies in seeking return opportunities from within and across each of the three sleeves – Long/Short Equity, Long/Short Credit, and Long/Short Macro. The portfolio managers may also seek to identify defensive investments and strategies, which focus on mitigation of downside risk and have the potential for investment returns that have low correlation to traditional equity securities. With respect to the Long/Short Equity and Long/Short Credit strategies, the portfolio managers generally select securities based upon a factor-based analysis of the underlying companies, industries and indices, along with a top-down macroeconomic overlay. The factors on which the portfolio managers base their analysis are those that are deemed to drive investment returns, such as momentum, value, quality, carry, and low volatility. With respect to the Long/Short Macro strategies, the
portfolio managers generally select securities and asset classes based on a top-down analysis of macroeconomic variables and the expected impact on the securities and asset classes the Fund may invest in.
The portfolio managers typically attempt to allocate in a way that generally provides strong risk-adjusted return potential. In response to changing market, economic, company, and industry-specific conditions and/or valuations and risk allocation fluctuations, the portfolio managers may change the Fund’s allocation to a particular strategy and may also implement new strategies or reduce the Fund’s allocation to any strategy to zero.
The short positions in each strategy currently employed can be obtained through short sales of securities, or through derivative positions. Such short positions can be held for various purposes, including to express views in a particular area of the market, to hedge the Fund’s overall risk, or to hedge a specific position held by the Fund.
The above criteria may vary in particular cases and may change over time. The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe no longer meet these criteria but is not required to do so.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a Cayman Islands exempted company that is wholly owned and controlled by the Fund (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary invests in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange-traded funds and other exchange-traded products related to gold or other special minerals (Gold ETFs). The Subsidiary may also invest in certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities market returns within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may vary based on the portfolio managers’ use of different types of commodity-linked derivatives, fixed-income securities, Gold ETFs, and other investments. Since the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold certain of the investments described in this prospectus, the Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in those investments through its Subsidiary. Therefore, references in this prospectus to investments by the Fund also may be deemed to include the Fund’s indirect investments through the Subsidiary.
