Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic mergers and acquisitions transactions in which the Fund invested. Returns were sourced predominantly from US-targeted transactions. Information technology and health care were the Fund’s top performing sectors for the second year in a row. No sectors detracted from returns for the period. Top contributors included the acquisition of Metsera by Pfizer, the acquisition of Juniper Networks by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the acquisition of Amedisys by UnitedHealth Group. Top detractors included the Fund’s positions in the acquisition of Norfolk Southern by Union Pacific, the acquisition of Clearwater Analytics by Permira Holdings, and the acquisition of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services by Hapag-Lloyd.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic mergers and acquisitions transactions in which the Fund invested. Returns were sourced predominantly from US-targeted transactions. Information technology and health care were the Fund’s top performing sectors for the second year in a row. No sectors detracted from returns for the period. Top contributors included the acquisition of Metsera by Pfizer, the acquisition of Juniper Networks by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the acquisition of Amedisys by UnitedHealth Group. Top detractors included the Fund’s positions in the acquisition of Norfolk Southern by Union Pacific, the acquisition of Clearwater Analytics by Permira Holdings, and the acquisition of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services by Hapag-Lloyd.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic mergers and acquisitions transactions in which the Fund invested. Returns were sourced predominantly from US-targeted transactions. Information technology and health care were the Fund’s top performing sectors for the second year in a row. No sectors detracted from returns for the period. Top contributors included the acquisition of Metsera by Pfizer, the acquisition of Juniper Networks by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the acquisition of Amedisys by UnitedHealth Group. Top detractors included the Fund’s positions in the acquisition of Norfolk Southern by Union Pacific, the acquisition of Clearwater Analytics by Permira Holdings, and the acquisition of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services by Hapag-Lloyd.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic corporate catalysts in which the Fund invested. Positive performance was sourced nearly equally from both credit special situations investments and merger-related credit investments. Nearly all of the Fund’s returns were generated by investments in US-based catalysts. Communications services and industrials were the Fund’s top performing sectors. No sectors detracted from returns for the period. Top contributors included the Fund’s investments in the bonds of EchoStar, Chart Industries, and Bentley Systems. Top detractors included the Fund’s investments in the bonds of Evolent Health, Spotify Technology, and Insulet.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic corporate catalysts in which the Fund invested. Positive performance was sourced nearly equally from both credit special situations investments and merger-related credit investments. Nearly all of the Fund’s returns were generated by investments in US-based catalysts. Communications services and industrials were the Fund’s top performing sectors. No sectors detracted from returns for the period. Top contributors included the Fund’s investments in the bonds of EchoStar, Chart Industries, and Bentley Systems. Top detractors included the Fund’s investments in the bonds of Evolent Health, Spotify Technology, and Insulet.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic corporate catalysts in which the Fund invested. Positive performance was sourced nearly equally from both credit special situations investments and merger-related credit investments. Nearly all of the Fund’s returns were generated by investments in US-based catalysts. Communications services and industrials were the Fund’s top performing sectors. No sectors detracted from returns for the period. Top contributors included the Fund’s investments in the bonds of EchoStar, Chart Industries, and Bentley Systems. Top detractors included the Fund’s investments in the bonds of Evolent Health, Spotify Technology, and Insulet.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic corporate catalysts in which the Fund invested. Returns were sourced predominantly from the Fund’s merger arbitrage sleeve, though equity special situations and credit-based catalysts also contributed positively to returns. The vast majority of the Fund’s performance was generated by investments in US-based catalysts. Health care and communications services were the Fund’s top performing sectors. While no single sector detracted from returns, the Fund’s broad market hedges – which are multisector holdings – were a detractor overall for the period. Top contributors included the acquisition of Juniper Networks by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the acquisition of Amedisys by UnitedHealth Group, and the acquisition of CinCor Pharma by AstraZeneca. Top detractors included the Fund’s positions in the acquisition of Clearwater Analytics by Permira Holdings, the acquisition of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services by Hapag-Lloyd, and Figma.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic corporate catalysts in which the Fund invested. Returns were sourced predominantly from the Fund’s merger arbitrage sleeve, though equity special situations and credit-based catalysts also contributed positively to returns. The vast majority of the Fund’s performance was generated by investments in US-based catalysts. Health care and communications services were the Fund’s top performing sectors. While no single sector detracted from returns, the Fund’s broad market hedges – which are multisector holdings – were a detractor overall for the period. Top contributors included the acquisition of Juniper Networks by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the acquisition of Amedisys by UnitedHealth Group, and the acquisition of CinCor Pharma by AstraZeneca. Top detractors included the Fund’s positions in the acquisition of Clearwater Analytics by Permira Holdings, the acquisition of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services by Hapag-Lloyd, and Figma.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Fund’s performance for the fiscal year was driven by the outcomes of the idiosyncratic corporate catalysts in which the Fund invested. Returns were sourced predominantly from the Fund’s merger arbitrage sleeve, though equity special situations and credit-based catalysts also contributed positively to returns. The vast majority of the Fund’s performance was generated by investments in US-based catalysts. Health care and communications services were the Fund’s top performing sectors. While no single sector detracted from returns, the Fund’s broad market hedges – which are multisector holdings – were a detractor overall for the period. Top contributors included the acquisition of Juniper Networks by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the acquisition of Amedisys by UnitedHealth Group, and the acquisition of CinCor Pharma by AstraZeneca. Top detractors included the Fund’s positions in the acquisition of Clearwater Analytics by Permira Holdings, the acquisition of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services by Hapag-Lloyd, and Figma.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.
