A word on risk
All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Any investment in collateralized loan obligations or other structured vehicles involves significant risks not associated with more conventional investment alternatives, such as the risk that distributions from the collateral may not be adequate to make interest or other payments; the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs that are subordinate to other tranches; and the CLO’s manager may perform poorly. The portfolios described herein are dynamic and may change over time. Use of the investment process tools and techniques described herein is no guarantee of investment success or positive performance.
The risk associated with Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO) are loans and high yield securities, the risk that distributions from the collateral may not be adequate to make interest or other payments; the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs that are subordinate to other tranches; and the CLO’s manager may perform poorly. This information does not constitute investment research as defined under MiFID.
