The investment objective of the Portfolio is to maximize current income while seeking preservation of capital. The Investment Manager intends to manage the Portfolio to maximize current income by taking advantage of market developments, yield disparities and variations in the creditworthiness of issuers. The Portfolio will pursue this objective through investment primarily in fixed-income securities of European companies and governments. The Investment Manager will invest at any time at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Portfolio's total assets in such securities, and may invest up to one-third (1/3) of total assets in Euro- or European currency-denominated fixed-income securities of non-European issuers.
