(a) Represents the actively managed portion of the portfolio and for purposes of this presentation, components include the value of securities, less any securities sold short. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts. This also reflects the equivalent exposure of certain derivative positions. These amounts may be negative from time to time.
(b) Represents the tactical overlay portion of the portfolio which is how the fund manages its exposure to markets and currencies through the use of derivative positions. Percentages reflect the equivalent exposure of those derivative positions.
(c) For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, less any securities sold short, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of all derivative positions. These amounts may be negative from time to time. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts.
(d) Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities.
(e) Other includes currency derivatives and/or the offsetting of the leverage produced by derivative positions.
Portfolio Composition presents the value of securities, including equivalent exposure of derivative positions. Equivalent exposure is a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset the portfolio would have to hold to have the same price sensitivity of the derivative contract. Bonds include any accrued interest amounts.
Where the fund holds convertible bonds, they are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.
