Summary
The investment seeks to provide a positive total return that exceeds the return on 3-Month U.S. Treasury bills over the long term (generally at least three years) regardless of market conditions. The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets across multiple global fixed income, currency and derivative strategies. In pursuing its investment objective, it seeks to maintain low correlations to the global fixed income markets (generally represented by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index) and equity markets (generally represented by the S&P 500 Index) and minimize, although not eliminate, downside volatility.
