The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve current income and, where appropriate, capital appreciation. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing primarily in senior secured loans and, to a lesser extent, senior secured notes issued by European issuers. The Fund will also invest to a lesser extent in senior secured loans and senior bonds issued by North American companies (subject to a limit of 20% of Net Asset Value). The U.S. and European primary and secondary loan markets are “over-the-counter” markets with established standardised trading and settlement procedures, including template debt trading documents, established by market associations established by market participants, such as the Loan Syndication Trading Association and the Loan Market Association.
