Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to the S&P UBS (formerly Credit Suisse) Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”) to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and related indexes, including the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the overall U.S. fixed-income market. The Fund seeks to provide current income by investing at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated floating-rate term loans administered by banks and loan-related derivatives and loan index products.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

  • Bullet

    The Fund was positively impacted by its allocation to leveraged loan exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and its underweight or zero-weight positions in poor performing leveraged loans in various sectors.

  • Bullet

    The Fund was also positively impacted by security selection in the Technology, Chemicals, Food & Beverage, Automotive and Midstream sectors.

  • Bullet

    Specific Fund holdings that positively impacted performance relative to the Index included: Virgin Media, Grifols, Consensus Cloud Solutions, Penn National Gaming and AHP Health Partners.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

  • Bullet

    The Fund was negatively impacted by its underweight or zero-weight positions in many lower quality leveraged loans that saw significant price appreciation particularly in the Wireless, Wirelines, Cable Satellite and Healthcare sectors.

  • Bullet

    The Fund was also hurt by its allocation to short-duration high yield bonds which underperformed the Index.

  • Bullet

    The Fund’s cash holdings were also a meaningful drag to performance compared to the Index which holds no cash.

  • Bullet

    Specific Fund holdings that negatively impacted performance relative to the Index included: Alvaria, Resource Label Group, Mitel, City Brewing and Barracuda Networks.
