The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to provide long-term returns similar to global equities with substantially lower volatility by investing primarily in convertible securities of global corporate issuers. Convertible securities are "hybrid" securities that possess both fixed income and equity characteristics. A properly selected convertible security offers the ability to participate in a substantial portion of the underlying common stock’s advances while being sheltered from a significant portion of its decline. In addition, a convertible security often provides a current yield in excess of the dividend yield on the underlying common stock. Convertible securities also tend to exhibit a much lower degree of interest rate sensitivity than traditional fixed income securities and have a different set of performance drivers.
