FBDC seeks a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks an attractive total return. FBDC will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of securities of business development companies ("BDCs") and other specialty finance companies that Confluence Investment Management LLC, the Fund's investment sub-advisor (the "Sub-Advisor"), believes offer attractive opportunities for income and capital appreciation.
