The sub-fund’s objective is both to generate revenue and to provide capital growth (total return strategy). In order to pursue this total return strategy, the sub-fund invests in a portfolio composed primarily of fixed or variable-income debt securities, with no restriction in terms of geographical region, currency, sector, maturity or the quality of the issuer. The minimum average rating for debt securities will be BB-. Non-rated securities will no longer represent more than 15% of net assets. Section 9 of Chapter 7 ("Investment Risks") of this Prospectus describes the risks connected with an investment in high yield debt securities. Section 11 of Chapter 7 ("Investment Risks") of this Prospectus sets forth the policy adopted in the event that a security held in the portfolio subsequently becomes distressed. The sub-fund's net assets will be mainly invested in bonds or other debt securities including convertible bonds and contingent convertible bonds.
