FXED

FXED relies on the adviser's ability to select fixed income securities. The portfolio can include fixed income securities issued by US and foreign corporations and governments. The selection process categorizes securities into component groups based on industry, credit rating, duration, and security type. For each category, the adviser establishes estimates of expected returns for both yield and capital appreciation. Individual securities are selected based on fundamental criteria, taking into account the yield, duration, and option-adjusted spread as compared to estimates. The portfolio will contain approximately an equal combination of both investment grade and high-yield debt securities of any duration. Holdings may also include shares of business development companies and real estate investment trusts. The adviser monitors the market and fundamental criteria to make buy and sell decisions.
