(3) | Rate disclosed is the 7-day effective yield as of 10/31/2021. |
(4) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy invest in futures contracts and foreign exchange forwards contracts using a variety of systematic trading strategies to meet investment objectives, which are typically the capturing of directional moves, both long and short, across diversified portfolios of markets and asset classes. |
(5) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy generally look to exploit relative mispricings between securities in a company’s capital structure where the manager can go long the undervalued security and hedge out resulting equity and/or credit betas. In convertible bonds, opportunities can be found where sellers do not properly assess the value of the embedded credit and equity option components, resulting in convertibles that trade either cheap or expensive to their fundamental value. This strategy is implemented with the use of leverage. |
(6) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy generally look to exploit relative mispricings between securities in a company’s capital structure where the manager can go long the undervalued security and hedge out resulting equity and/or credit betas. In convertible bonds, opportunities can be found where sellers do not properly assess the value of the embedded credit and equity option components, resulting in convertibles that trade either cheap or expensive to their fundamental value. In other corporate credit situations, opportunities arise when different components of a company’s capital structure imply very different fundamental outcomes (i.e. equity near zero and debt near par), creating the opportunity to structure long and short positions that have favorable payoff profiles. Both of these strategies are implemented with the use of leverage. |
(7) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy invest in securities of companies involved in certain special situations, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, spin-offs, balance sheet restructuring, bankruptcy and other situations. These special situations constitute an “event” which the Portfolio Managers believe will trigger a change in the price of securities relative to their current price or close the gap between securities that are being arbitraged. |
(8) | Portfolio Funds in this strategy look to exploit mispricings between related fixed income instruments, including sovereign debt, corporate debt and derivative instruments such as futures, options and swaps. Exploitable opportunities may be found in closely related securities trading at different prices, in the value between fixed income instruments and related derivative instruments, in the shape of yield curves and in credit spreads. These strategies typically require leverage in order to exploit relatively small mispricings. |
(9) | Portfolio Fund subject to investor-level percentage limitations on redemptions. |
(10) | Portfolio Fund subject to lock-up provision up to one year. |
(11) | Portfolio Fund in liquidation. Mandatory distributions are expected to be received when underlying investments of the Portfolio Fund are realized. |

(9) | Portfolio Fund subject to lock-up provision up to three years. |
(10) | Portfolio Fund represents investments in securities which are illiquid or are subject to an anticipated event. These securities are held by the Portfolio Fund in “side pockets.” Side pockets are series or classes of shares which are not redeemable by the investors but which are automatically redeemed or converted back into the Portfolio Fund’s regular series or classes of shares upon the realization of those securities or the happening of some other liquidity event with respect to those securities. These “side pockets” can often be held for long periods before they are realized, and may therefore be much less liquid than the general liquidity offered on the Portfolio Fund’s regular series or classes of shares. Should the Funds seek to liquidate their investment in a Portfolio Fund that maintains investments in a side pocket arrangement or that holds a substantial portion of its assets in illiquid securities, the Funds might not be able to fully liquidate their investments without delay, which could be considerable. In such cases, during the period until the Funds are permitted to fully liquidate the investment in the Portfolio Fund, the value of the investment could fluctuate. |
