About HICSX

The Harbor Convertible Securities Fund is a mutual fund specializing in convertible securities—financial instruments that blend features of both bonds and stocks. Its primary objective is to maximize total returns, aiming to deliver a combination of current income and capital appreciation. Under typical market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of convertible securities, focusing predominantly on those denominated in U.S. dollars, but also including securities from foreign issuers and, occasionally, in other currencies. The fund's strategy is anchored in convertible bonds, which provide the potential for equity-like growth with the added stability and income characteristics of fixed-income assets. This unique positioning allows the fund to serve as a bridge between traditional equity and bond investments, appealing to investors seeking a balance of growth and risk mitigation. Managed by BlueCove Limited since March 2023, the Harbor Convertible Securities Fund draws on scientific investment processes to navigate the complexities of the convertible market and to adapt its holdings to evolving financial landscapes.
