Its portfolio may also include convertible securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and other income-producing instruments. While the emphasis is on U.S. corporate credit, the fund retains the flexibility to take opportunistic positions in select non-U.S. markets when risk-return prospects align with its mandate.
