The fund typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in high income debt instruments, including corporate bonds rated below investment grade, with a diversified portfolio drawn from hundreds of issuers across various sectors. The portfolio is managed using bottom-up fundamental research to identify companies likely to withstand credit cycles and employs top-down risk budgeting based on valuation analysis.
