 credit and private asset-backed securities through investments in unaffiliated private funds that pursue private credit strategies or are otherwise consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies. The unaffiliated private funds in which the Fund may invest include pooled investment vehicles that that would qualify as “investment companies” under the 1940 Act but for Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and would not qualify for any other exemption (“3(c)(1)/3(c)(7) Funds”), as well as vehicles that would not be investment companies for reasons other than the exemptions in Sections 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act (“Other Private Funds” and, together with 3(c)(1)/3(c)(7) Funds, “Private Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund may also invest in any combination of the following: (i) structured products that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations; (ii) swaps and other derivative instruments (including total return, index and interest rate swaps, options, warrants, forward contracts, futures contracts and options on futures contracts) that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations; (iii) foreign currencies and foreign currency derivatives (including foreign currency related swaps, futures contracts and forward contracts) acquired for the purpose of hedging the currency risk arising from the credit obligations in the Fund’s portfolio; and (iv) equity securities obtained through the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable instruments, debt restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings and hedges on such positions. Structured products, swaps and other derivative instruments that do not provide long or short exposure to other credit obligations are those instruments whose reference or underlying assets or indices are not credit obligations or indices of credit obligations. Examples of such instruments include equity- and commodity-linked notes, total return swaps based on the value of an equity security and commodity futures contracts. The Fund may invest in such instruments in order, for example, (i) to seek current income or capital appreciation or (ii) to reduce the Fund’s exposure solely to credit obligations. The Adviser believes that the flexibility afforded by being able to invest in such instruments may benefit the Fund by (i) allowing the Fund to invest in potentially attractive investment opportunities that are not credit obligations and (ii) increasing the mix of instruments in the Fund’s portfolio which could reduce the overall risk of the Fund’s portfolio. There can be no assurance that these benefits will be realized and
