High Yield Bond

Overview

Fund Description

A nimble, actively managed fixed income strategy that seeks high current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high yield corporate bonds.

The fund’s managers apply a unique investment approach defined by several key features:

  • Information and Analytical Edge - Research platform that pairs global macroeconomic insights with fundamental and quantitative analysis across the capital structure
  • Execution Edge - Portfolio managers trade primarily in the secondary market and build a portfolio designed to provide maximum flexibility, especially amid times of distress in the high yield market
  • Contrarian, Long-Term Approach - Applies a complete market cycle investment horizon when evaluating new securities and invests based on levels of conviction, regardless of a security’s weight in the index

The investment team seeks to achieve the fund’s investment objective primarily through strong security selection, driven by thorough credit analysis and a focus on relative value opportunities.

On July 30, 2021, the Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Diamond Hill High Yield Fund, a mutual fund managed with full investment authority by that fund’s Adviser.

Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.

The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.

Refer to the fund’s annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.

Risks

What Are The Risks?

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond’s issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond’s value. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
