Summary
The investment seeks total return. The fund invests (long or short) primarily in fixed income futures related to bonds issued by U.S. and foreign (non-U.S. and non-emerging markets) companies and governments or by holding fixed income securities. Under normal market conditions, it invests at least 80% of its assets (defined as net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in fixed income securities, which it defines as including domestic and foreign treasury bills, notes, commercial paper corporate, government debt and other forms of indebtedness.
