Credit Risk: Issuers of bonds held in the fund may default on their obligations or have their credit rating downgraded, possibly resulting in a temporary or permanent decrease in the value of those bonds. Bonds in this Fund may be sub-investment grade, meaning that they may produce a higher level of income but also carry greater risk.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed-rate bonds held in the fund may fall in price with an increase in the prevailing level of interest rates in the economy. This risk usually decreases for bonds of lower rating and shorter durations.
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may use derivative instruments to protect against potential risks as described under the other headings in this section. Derivative instruments may rise or fall in price or may be subject to risk of non-payment or non-delivery by a counterparty. There is no guarantee that derivatives will provide the anticipated protection.
Liquidity Risk: The Fund may face difficulties in purchasing or selling its assets, although it endeavors to invest in liquid securities.

The prices of fixed income securities fluctuate in response to perceptions of the issuer’s creditworthiness and also tend to vary inversely with market interest rates. The value of such securities is likely to decline in times of rising interest rates. Conversely, when rates fall, the value of these investments is likely to rise. Typically, the longer the time to maturity the greater are such variations. A Fund investing in fixed income securities will be subject to credit risk (i.e. the risk that an issuer of securities will be unable or unwilling to pay principal and interest when due, or that the value of a security will suffer because investors believe the issuer is less able or willing to pay).
This presentation references certain proposed internal targets and guidelines relating to the Fund. There is no assurance that the targets will be achieved or guidelines met. In addition, the targets and guidelines are subject to change from time to time at the discretion of the Investment Manager without notice.
