Strategy Highlights

  • Pursuit of high total return through a flexible, bottom-up credit selection approach that allows the managers to seek out investment opportunities across global bond markets.
  • To enhance yield through a strategic yet opportunistic approach by taking advantage of market volatility to build positions.
  • Offering flexible credit and duration positioning designed to enhance yield as a complement to core fixed income.
  • Offers access to the renowned research and experienced portfolio management capabilities of Loomis Sayles.

Investment Strategy

  • Management team seeks to identify undervalued bonds with favorable current yields and strong prospects for price appreciation.
  • Management team focuses on the fundamental strength and value of each issuer, searching for value across a broad spectrum of opportunities.
  • The team maintains a long-term focus on the intrinsic value of each security at maturity, not the next quarter, and concentrates on total return – income plus capital gains.
  • Investment decisions are based on extensive proprietary research into the credit strength of issuers, with interest rates and market factors as important, but secondary, considerations.
  • Invests primarily in investment-grade, fixed income securities but may invest up to 25% of assets in fixed income securities rated below investment grade.

About Risk

  • Fixed Income Securities Risk: Fixed income securities may carry one or more of the following risks: credit, interest rate (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), inflation and liquidity.
  • Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk: Foreign and emerging market securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit, currency and information risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than US securities, due to varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
  • Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Below investment grade fixed income securities may be subject to greater risks (including the risk of default) than other fixed income securities.
  • Mortgage-Related and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to the risks of the mortgages and assets underlying the securities. Other related risks include prepayment risk, which is the risk that the securities may be prepaid, potentially resulting in the reinvestment of the prepaid amounts into securities with lower yields.
  • Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve risk of loss and may entail additional risks. Because derivatives depend on the performance of an underlying asset, they can be highly volatile and are subject to market and credit risks.
  • ETF General Risk: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, and will fluctuate in market value. Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are not individually redeemable directly with the Fund, and are bought and sold on the secondary market at market price, which may be higher or lower than the ETF’s net asset value (NAV). Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns.
  • Active ETF: Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the Fund attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing.
  • New Fund Risk: As a new fund, there is a limited operating history and there can be no assurance it will grow to an economically viable size, in which case it may cease operations and require investors to liquidate or transfer their investments.
