The fund may also hold senior secured and unsecured debt, subordinated debt, convertible debt, fixed and floating rate debt, bank loans, money markets, and other funds. The fund manager may also enter into securities lending transactions for additional income, as well as into total return swaps and other derivatives. Holding derivatives may be used to hedge the portfolios interest rate exposure. BND is reconstituted and rebalanced at the discretion of the sub-advisor.
