About AGGH
Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing in investment grade bonds primarily by purchasing exchange traded funds and applying derivative overlays intended to hedge risk or generate income. Bond Strategy The Fund has adopted a non-fundamental investment policy that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. investment grade bonds primarily by purchasing exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund pursues its strategy primarily by purchasing ETFs that invest principally in the U.S. investment grade bonds of the U.S. government, corporate issuers, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). However, the Fund invests without restriction as to the credit quality, maturity, or duration of an individual security. The Adviser does not frequently trade securities but seeks to maintain consistent exposure to such companies through its investments in ETFs. The Adviser determines which ETFs to purchase based on factors such as price, liquidity, and track record. The Adviser selects ETFs that are representative of an asset class (e.g., invests primarily in investment grade corporate bonds) and have a minimum five-year track record and adequate trading volume relative to the Fund’s size. The Adviser considers trading volume adequate if it can buy and sell an ETF in a desired quantity without materially affecting its price. The underlying ETFs that the Fund will invest in may target bonds with different maturities, durations, and quality requirements in connection with their investment strategies. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “five years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 5% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). Maturity is the period during which its owner will receive interest payments on the investment. When the bond reaches maturity, the Fund is repaid its par, or face value. A bond’s quality is a reference to the grade given to a bond by a rating service that indicates its credit quality. The rating takes into consideration a bond issuer’s financial strength or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. For instance, a “AAA” high-grade rated bond offers more security and lower profit potential (lower yield) than a “B-” rated speculative bond. Derivatives Overlay-Generally In total,the Fund may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s portfolio in derivatives (measured by purchase price in the case of options or collateralpledged in the case of other derivatives). The Adviser anticipates purchasing and selling its derivatives on a monthly, quarterly, andannual basis, depending upon the Fund’s rebalancing requirements and expiration dates. However, the Adviser may rebalance the Fund’sderivative portfolio on a more frequent basis for a number of reasons such as when market volatility renders the protection providedby the derivative strategy ineffective or a derivative position has appreciated to the point that it is prudent to decrease the Fund’sexposure and realize gains for the Fund’s shareholders. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter (“OTC”);index-based or linked to a specific security. The Adviser selects derivatives based upon its evaluation of relative value based on expectedhedging effectiveness, cost; and in the case of options, strike price (price that the option can be bought or sold by the option holder)and maturity (the last date the option contract is valid). The Adviser will exercise or close the options based typically on maturity.The Adviser may invest in affiliated money market ETFs to manage liquidity or to pledge as collateral for derivatives. When the Fund purchases a call option, the Fund has the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock or other asset at a specified price (strike price) within a specific time period. When the Fund purchases a put option, the Fund has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock or other asset at a specified price (strike price) within a specific time period. Futures contracts allow the buyer or seller to purchase or sell an asset at a future date. The Fund will invest in total return swaps that use investment grade or high yield debt instruments or investment grade or high yield indexes as reference assets and equity indexes or ETFs. The Fund executes a portion of its derivatives overlay strategy indirectly by investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Fund gains exposure to certain investments related to this strategy by investing up to 25% of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary is advised by the Adviser. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to certain derivatives in accordance with applicable tax rules and regulations. Derivatives Overlay-Hedge Strategy The Fund may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s portfolio in derivatives to hedge against interest rate risk and credit risk. The Adviser uses long and short positions in futures, options, and swaps linked to equities, fixed income securities, volatility indices, commodities, and currencies to manage risk. When the Adviser believes interest rates will be rising in general, or within a sector, it will hedge primarily by initiating short positions in interest rate-related futures, swaps, and or options. When the Adviser believes credit risk will be increasing, it will hedge primarily by receiving protection through a credit default swap or a total return swap that uses investment grade or high yield debt instruments or investment grade or high yield index as the reference asset. However, when the Adviser believes a short-term opportunity for a more-effective hedge is available, it may also use derivatives linked to equities, volatility indices, commodities (i.e., gold and oil), and currencies to manage interest rate and credit risk. The Adviser closes derivative positions when it believes the related risk is no longer significant or to use a more efficient or cost-effective derivative. Derivatives Overlay-Income Strategy The Fund may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s portfolio in derivatives to generate additional income. While derivative-based gains are considered capital gains under GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) they are commonly described as income by securities market participants. When the Adviser believes a put or call option presents insignificant risk, the Fund will write put and or call options with the expectation that they will expire worthless. As an alternative, when the Adviser believes an option is not likely to expire worthless it may use put and call spreads. In a call option spread, the Fund sells (writes) an out of the money (above current market price) call option while also purchasing a call option that is further out of the money to partially offset the risk of the written option. In a put option spread, the Fund sells (writes) an out of money (below current market price) put option while also purchasing a put option that is further out of the money to partially offset the risk of the written option. The Adviser may also use a combination of derivatives and cash equivalents as a substitute for a bond ETF when it generates more income. The Adviser may also engage in reverse repurchase agreements and use the proceeds for investment purposes. Reverse repurchase agreements are contracts in which a seller of securities, for example, U.S. government securities, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price. Reverse repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as an indirect means of borrowing. When the Fund earns more on its additional investments than the interest cost related to the reverse repurchase agreement, it generates additional income.
