BW Global Income Opportunities Fund raises below-investment-grade cap to 55% of assets
The fund's board approved a change to a non-fundamental investment policy, raising the limit on below-investment-grade securities from 35% to 55% of assets, and added Anujeet Sareen to the portfolio management team effective February 10, 2017. The filing says the change is meant to give sub-adviser Brandywine more flexibility to manage duration and add income, while the fund's objectives and principal strategy stay the same. Higher-yield, lower-rated holdings carry greater risk of loss for shareholders.
- Maximum below-investment-grade holdings raised from 35% to 55% of assets, effective February 13, 2017
