INVESTMENT RESULTS

The table above shows the Fund’s performance compared with its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield Index (USD hedged), as well as its blended benchmark for the six- and 12-month periods ended March 31, 2018. The blended benchmark is composed of equal weightings of the JPMorgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets (“JPM GBI-EM”, local currency-denominated), the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (“JPM EMBI Global”) and the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield (“HY”) 2% Issuer Capped Index.

During the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark. Yield-curve positioning detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, primarily because of positioning along the UK yield curve, where an overweight in 10-year maturities detracted. Sector allocation was positive, as gains from the Fund’s out-of-benchmark positions in US agency risk-sharing transactions and non-agency mortgages more than offset negative returns from exposures to treasuries and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). Security selection also contributed, benefiting most from US high-yield corporate selections in the US and—to a lesser extent—the eurozone. Selections in emerging-market corporate bonds detracted. A long position in the Polish zloty contributed, while a short position in the Singapore dollar was negative.

During the six-month period, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark. Yield-curve positioning detracted from performance, mostly as a

result of positioning along the US curve; the Fund was overweight the intermediate portion of the curve (two-, five- and 10-year maturities) where yields rose the most. Currency investments were also negative, primarily because of long positions in the Turkish lira, Norwegian krone and Mexican peso. A long position in the Polish zloty was positive. Sector allocation contributed due to the Fund’s exposure to US agency risk-sharing transactions and non-agency mortgages. Security selection also added to performance, the result of selections within investment-grade corporates and CMBS, both in the US.

During both periods the Fund utilized currency forwards and currency options, both written and purchased, to hedge currency exposure as well as to manage active currency risk. Credit default swaps, both single name and index, were used to hedge investment-grade and high-yield credit risk through cash bonds, as well as to take active credit risk. Treasury futures and interest rate swaps were used to manage duration, country exposure and yield-curve positioning. Variance swaps and swaptions were used to take active risk in an effort to add alpha (a measure of how the Fund is performing on a risk-adjusted basis versus its benchmark) by capturing risk premiums that are similar to high-yield exposure elsewhere in the Fund, while swaptions were also used to manage Fund performance versus the benchmark. Total return swaps were used to create synthetic high-yield exposure in the Fund.

MARKET REVIEW AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Fixed-income markets performed well over the 12-month period. Emerging-market debt rallied over the period, helped by increasing oil prices and an improving global growth story. Global high yield also performed well, followed by emerging-market local-currency government bonds, developed-market treasuries and investment-grade corporates. Within high yield, sector performance was almost uniformly positive. Transportation had the strongest absolute returns, while communications fell furthest. Outside of the eurozone, developed-market treasury yields generally flattened, with shorter maturities rising as long ends fell. Eurozone treasury yields moved in different directions.

After some initial uncertainty regarding the US government’s ability to implement meaningful changes, markets reacted with enthusiasm when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed in December. In Europe, despite some formal progress on Brexit, investor anxiety increased around a bifurcated outlook for the negotiation process. The US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates in June, December and March, and began to formally reduce its balance sheet, as universally anticipated by markets. The European Central Bank confirmed that its newly reduced pace of asset purchases would continue through September 2018 and further, if necessary.

At the end of the reporting period, a severe spike in volatility shook a broad swath of capital markets. US yields rose dramatically, with the 10-year Treasury yield reaching a four-year peak. In the US, higher-than-expected wage gains and inflation numbers fueled concerns regarding the risk of the Fed tightening monetary policy faster than anticipated and pushed bond yields higher. Additionally, President Trump’s early-March announcement of import tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum weighed on capital markets worldwide, as investors feared the possible onset of a global trade war. Nervous sentiment from the US reverberated across markets around the globe. Elsewhere, the Bank of England said that it too could increase rates faster than previously expected, depending on the strength of its economy.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

The Fund invests without limit in securities denominated in non-US currencies as well as those denominated in the US dollar. The Fund may also invest, without limit, in sovereign debt securities issued by emerging and developed nations and in debt securities of US and non-US corporate issuers. For more information regarding the Fund’s risks, please see “Disclosures and Risks” on pages 5-7 and “Note E—Risks Involved in Investing in the Fund” of the Notes to Financial Statements on pages 115-118.

Benchmark Disclosure

All indices are unmanaged and do not reflect fees and expenses associated with the active management of a fund portfolio. The Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield Index (USD hedged) represents non-investment grade fixed-income securities of companies in the US, and developed and emerging markets. The JPM® GBI-EM represents the performance of local currency government bonds issued by emerging markets. The JPM® EMBI Global (market-capitalization weighted) represents the performance of US dollar-denominated Brady bonds, Eurobonds and trade loans issued by sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities. The Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate HY 2% Issuer Capped Index is the 2% Issuer Capped component of the US Corporate High Yield Index, which represents the performance of fixed-income securities having a maximum quality rating of Ba1, a minimum amount outstanding of $150 million and at least one year to maturity. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and its results are not indicative of the performance of any specific investment, including the Fund.

A Word About Risk

Market Risk: The value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate as the stock or bond market fluctuates. The value of its investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events that affect large portions of the market.

Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates will affect the value of investments in fixed-income securities. When interest rates rise, the value of investments in fixed-income securities tends to fall and this decrease in value may not be offset by higher income from new investments. Interest rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations.

Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives or other contract, may be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest or principal, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The issuer or guarantor may default, causing a loss of the full principal amount of a security. The degree of risk for a particular security

DISCLOSURES AND RISKS (continued)

 

may be reflected in its credit rating. There is the possibility that the credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security.

Below Investment Grade Securities: Investments in fixed-income securities with lower ratings (commonly known as “junk bonds”) tend to have a higher probability that an issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of the junk bond market generally and less secondary market liquidity.

Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of the Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions. This risk is significantly greater if the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed-income securities with longer maturities.

Foreign (Non-US) Risk: Investments in securities of non-US issuers may involve more risk than those of US issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be less liquid due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory or other factors.

Emerging-Market Risk: Investments in emerging-market countries may have more risk because the markets are less developed and less liquid as well as being subject to increased economic, political, regulatory or other uncertainties.

Currency Risk: Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may negatively affect the value of the Fund’s investments or reduce its returns.

Leverage Risk: As a result of the Fund’s use of leveraging techniques, its NAV may be more volatile because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of changes in interest rates and any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s investments.

Diversification Risk: The Fund may have more risk because it is “non-diversified”, meaning that it can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers and that adverse changes in the value of one security could have a more significant effect on the Fund’s NAV.

Derivatives Risk: Investments in derivatives may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Fund, and may be subject to counterparty risk to a greater degree than more traditional investments.

DISCLOSURES AND RISKS (continued)

 

Management Risk: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment fund. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there is no guarantee that its techniques will produce the intended results. The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed and/or other asset-backed securities, including securities backed by mortgages and assets with an international or emerging-markets origination and securities backed by non-performing loans at the time of investment. Investments in mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain additional risks. The value of these securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. These risks include “extension risk”, which is the risk that, in periods of rising interest rates, issuers may delay the payment of principal, and “prepayment risk”, which is the risk that, in periods of falling interest rates, issuers may pay principal sooner than expected, exposing the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Mortgage-backed securities offered by nongovernmental issuers and other asset-backed securities may be subject to other risks, such as higher rates of default in the mortgages or assets backing the securities or risks associated with the nature and servicing of mortgages or assets backing the securities.

These risks are fully discussed in the Fund’s prospectus. As with all investments, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
