Risks

The Fund’s shares may change in value and may go down as well as up. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. You may not get back all of the money you invest.

The Fund is subject to Market Risk, which means that shares of the Fund may fall in value due to price volatility as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates and general market liquidity.

High yield securities, or “junk” bonds, are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss than securities with higher ratings. Many issuers of high yield debt are highly leveraged, and their relatively high debt-to-equity ratios create increased risks that their operations might not generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations. The ability of an issuer of high yield securities to meet principal and interest payments is considered speculative. High yield securities tend to be more volatile than higher rated securities, so that adverse economic events may have a greater impact on the prices of high yield securities than on higher rated securities.

High yield securities are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, and income risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make payments of interest and principal when due and that the value of a security may decline as a result. Interest rate risk is the risk that if interest rates rise, the prices of the fixed-rate instruments held by the Fund may fall. Income risk is the risk that if interest rates fall, the income from the Fund’s portfolio will decline as the Fund intends to hold floating rate debt that will adjust lower with falling interest rates.

Companies that issue loans tend to be highly leveraged and thus are more susceptible to the risks of interest deferral, default and/or bankruptcy. Senior floating rate loans, in which the Fund may invest, are usually rated below investment grade but may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with these loans are similar to the risks of high yield fixed income instruments. Loans are subject to prepayment risk. The degree to which borrowers prepay loans may be affected by general business conditions, the financial condition of the borrower and competitive conditions among loan investors, among others. The Fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds received on terms as favorable as the prepaid loan.

The use of derivative instruments can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. These risks are heightened when the Fund’s portfolio managers use derivatives to enhance the Fund’s return or as a substitute for a position or security, rather than solely to hedge (or offset) the risk of a position or security held by the Fund.

As the Fund’s investments may be denominated in currencies other than the Fund’s currency, an investment in this Fund may expose you to currency risk.

The Fund may invest in one or more Eligible Collective Investment Schemes which may include schemes managed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates. As a shareholder of another collective investment scheme, the Fund will bear its pro rata portion of the expenses of the other collective investment scheme. These fees would be in addition to the investment management fees and other expenses which the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.

Neither FTGP nor any of its affiliates, guarantees the performance or the future returns of the Fund.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will declare dividends.
