The investment seeks to maximize long-term total return without tracking any particular markets or indices. The fund pursues its objective by using techniques intended to provide absolute (positive) returns in all markets and employs a strategy intended to produce high income while exploiting disparities or inefficiencies in markets. The adviser focuses on inefficiencies related to secured or asset-backed debt compared with unsecured and subordinated debt or equity of companies and issuers. Additionally, the adviser focuses on longer-term cyclical anomalies in the fixed income markets to both enhance yield and realize potential price appreciation.
