the safety of corporate bond investments with the
upside potential of equities. The bond component
provides downside protection and modest current
income, while the option of equity conversion provides
exposure to upside potential.

rates. In a rising-rate environment, they tend to behave
more like equities and normally rise in value.
•A
s a convertible bond portfolio, the Fund does not typically
