Risks:
ETF fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. ETFs are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value, an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact an ETF’s ability to sell its shares. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. High Yield Securities Risk: High yield securities (also known as junk bonds) are generally considered riskier than investment grade, fixed income securities. The total return and yield of high yield securities can be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of higher quality securities. Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities in which the Fund invests are subject to several types of investment risk, including market or interest rate risk (i.e., the risk that their value will be inversely affected by fluctuations in the prevailing interest rates), credit risk (i.e., the risk that the issuer may be unable to make timely interest payments and repay the principal upon maturity), call or income risk (i.e., the risk that certain debt securities with high interest rates will be prepaid or “called” by the issuer before they mature), and event risk (i.e., the risk that certain debt securities may suffer a substantial decline in credit quality and market value if the issuer restructures). Credit Risk: The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation (such as the payment of interest or principal on a debt security). Foreign Securities Risk: The risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to less liquid markets, and adverse economic, political, diplomatic, financial, and regulatory factors. Foreign governments also may impose limits on investment and repatriation and impose taxes. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. Interest Rate Risk: The risk of market losses attributable to changes in interest rates. With fixed rate securities, a rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values. The yield earned by the Fund will vary with changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the fluctuation in value. Liquidity Risk: The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would like. Limited History of Operations: The Fund is recently organized with a limited operating history, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size. Currency Risk: Changes in currency exchange rates can negatively affect securities denominated in and/or receiving revenues in foreign currencies. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates (relative to the U.S. dollar) may erode or reverse any potential gains from the Fund’s investments in securities denominated in a foreign currency or may widen existing losses.
Benchmarks:
ICE BofA Euro BB-B High Yield Constrained Index: The ICE BofA Euro BB-B High Yield Constrained Index (often HEC0) measures the performance of Euro-denominated, below-investment-grade corporate bonds rated BB1 through B3 (based on an average of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch). It covers fixed-rate bonds issued in eurobond/euro domestic markets, capping issuer exposure to limit concentration risk.
Definitions:
30-Day Yield (also known as “SEC yield”): For each share class, SEC yield is a compounded and annualized figure calculated according to a formula set by the SEC. The formula requires a specific methodology for calculating dividends and interest earned, and expenses accrued, during the period, and reflects the maximum offering price per Fund share. The standardized computation is designed to facilitate yield comparisons among different funds. The calculation is based on the 30-day period ended on the last day of the previous month.
Adjusted Effective Duration: With respect to the portfolio, the adjusted effective duration statistic provided is calculated by taking a weighted average of (i) modified duration to next reset date for all floating rate instruments, and (ii) effective duration for all fixed coupon instruments. With respect to the benchmark, duration is shown as effective duration.
Average Blended Yield: Average blended yield is the weighted average of (i) for instruments priced at or above par, yield to worst for bonds and yield to three year take out for loans, and (ii) for instruments trading at a discount, yield to maturity. Yield to worst is the lowest possible yield from owning a bond considering all potential call dates before maturity. It is the statistic provided for the index as it comprises only high yield bonds. Yield to three-year takeout is the yield from owning a senior bank loan assuming the loan is retired in three years or yield to maturity if the loan’s maturity date is in less than three years.
Average Coupon: Average Coupon is the average rate of the coupons of the fixed income securities (i.e., loans and bonds) in a portfolio, weighted based each holding's size relative to the portfolio.
Average Price: The average price is a market value-weighted average price calculated only for the fixed income portion of the account.
