Strategy Narrative [Text Block]
In seeking current income and long-term capital appreciation, the Fund has significant flexibility and invests across asset classes and geographies, according to the adviser’s or subadviser’s assessment of their valuations, fundamental characteristics, and income levels. The Fund invests in investment companies such as ETFs which could represent a significant percentage of the Fund’s assets. To meet its objective, the Fund may also invest in open- and closed-end investment companies. The Fund generally expects to invest at least 20% (or, if market conditions are not deemed favorable, at least 10%) of its assets in securities of issuers domiciled outside of the United States and may invest up to 100% of its assets in such securities.
The Fund invests in income-generating equity securities, which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and master limited partnerships (MLPs). The Fund may invest in companies of any size from any country, including emerging markets.
The Fund also invests in fixed-income securities of varying maturity, duration, and quality. These may include U.S. and non‑U.S. corporate debt securities, U.S. and non‑U.S. government debt securities, emerging-market debt securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, convertible securities, loans (including covenant lite loans) and floating-rate notes. The Fund may invest up to 60% of its assets in fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds) or, if unrated, are determined by the Fund’s subadviser(s) to be of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest in securities acquired in a private placement, such as Rule 144A securities, as well as derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign currency contracts, for risk management purposes, including to hedge its currency exposure, or as part of its investment strategies.
Multimanager Approach—The Fund uses a multimanager approach, meaning the adviser, in its discretion, may manage assets directly by investing in open- and closed-end investment companies, ETFs and individual securities or allocate assets to one or more subadvisers (collectively “Allocation Decisions”). The adviser and each sub-
adviser acts independently from the others and uses its own investment style and process to select securities, within the constraints of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and restrictions. Morningstar, as the Fund’s adviser, is responsible for selecting the investment strategies and making Allocation Decisions, with the goal of generating income and maximizing return in the context of pursuing the Fund’s investment objective with a prudent level of risk for the strategy. Morningstar may change subadvisers, subject to the oversight of the board of trustees, and sell holdings at any time.
