Top contributors to performance:
|
|
|
↑
|
The euro was the largest contributor to performance, supported by improving European growth expectations and sentiment. Strong relative demand amid a weakening U.S. dollar drove gains in the first half of 2025, reinforced by continued euro area disinflation that reduced macro uncertainty and supported European risk assets and the currency.
|
|
↑
|
Local-currency Mexican bonds also contributed to performance, supported by elevated real yields and strong investor demand for higher-yielding assets during periods of contained volatility and improved risk appetite. Banxico delivered multiple rate cuts in 2025 as inflation moderated, allowing policy to become incrementally less restrictive.
|
|
↑
|
U.S. Treasury duration was additive, as the Fund tactically increased exposure when yields approached 5% and growth momentum and policy expectations began to shift. Signs of a softening labor market pushed yields lower as investors priced in additional rate cuts, helping offset the fiscal and tariff-related uncertainties that weighed on markets in the first half of the year.
|
|
Top detractors from performance:
|
|
|
↓
|
The Japanese yen was the largest detractor, weighed down by persistent yield differentials and its continued role as a funding currency for global carry trades during risk-on periods. Although the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to the highest level in 30 years, cautious guidance on the future pace of hikes limited support for the currency.
|
|
↓
|
The South Korean won was a moderate detractor, reflecting a challenging mix of domestic political uncertainty, sensitivity to global trade conditions, and an unfavorable relative-rate backdrop at key points during the year. Political developments in particular weighed on sentiment.

The Board of Trustees of the Registrant has determined that Stephen R.

The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.
| ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025 (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant (the “Auditor”) for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $139,436 in December 31, 2024 and $140,830 in December 31, 2025.
b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant’s financial statements were $0 in December 31, 2024 and $0 in December 31, 2025.
(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning (“Tax Services”) were $32,000 in December 31, 2024 and $32,000 in December 31, 2025. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held.
There were no fees billed for tax services by the Auditors to the Registrant’s investment manager and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment manager that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (“Service Affiliates”) during the Reporting Periods that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item, were $0 in December 31, 2024 and $0 in December 31, 2025.
There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to the Service Affiliates requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Periods.
(e) Audit Committee’s pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of each registered investment company (the “Fund”) advised by the Registrant’s investment manager or one of their affiliates (each, an “Adviser”) requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the Adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.
The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and the Covered Service Providers constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.
(2) None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant and the Service Affiliates during the reporting period were $762,983 in December 31, 2024 and $783,394 in December 31, 2025.
(h) Yes. The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant or to the Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, were pre-approved as required.

These
capital losses have been deferred in the current year as either short-term or long-term losses. The losses
will
be deemed to occur on the first day of the next taxable year in the same character as they were originally
deferred
and will be available to offset future taxable capital gains. |
|
(a)
|
Other
book/tax temporary differences are attributable to the tax deferral of losses on straddles, the realization
for
tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain forwards and foreign currency contracts and book/tax
differences
in the timing of the deductibility of various expenses. |
|
(b)
|
The
difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax
deferral
of losses on wash sales. |
