CVRT

CVRT aims to provide targeted exposure to the equity-sensitive segment of the US convertibles market. The fund includes convertible bonds, structured notes, debentures, and preferred stocks, as well as synthetic convertible instruments. These securities may be rated investment grade or below investment grade and may be issued by corporations, governments, or public international bodies. The fund may allocate up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities. In selecting securities, the adviser uses a screening process that combines a proprietary convertible model and fundamental inputs. The adviser will make active portfolio adjustments based on fundamental analyses, including financial soundness, interest and dividend payments, earnings and cash flow forecast, and management, as well as portfolio-level characteristics such as market value, liquidity, trade execution, and macro investment themes. The portfolio is rebalanced on a regular basis.
