Year-by-Year Returns

⁽¹⁾ Returns are for the periods ended December 31, 2019. The tables above show the past performance of the Fund. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. The information shown is based on Net Asset Value per Class A or Class U unit and assumes that distributions made by the Fund on its units in the periods shown were reinvested (at Net Asset Value per Class A or Class U unit) in additional units of the Fund. The tables above show the Fund’s year-by-year and compound returns for each period indicated compared with the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (“Loan Index”) is an appropriate benchmark as it is designed to mirror the investable universe of the US dollar denominated leveraged loan market in which the Fund also invests. The Loan Index is unleveraged and its returns are calculated without the deduction of fees and Fund expenses, whereas the performance of the Fund includes the impact of leverage and is calculated after deducting fees and Fund expenses. Since the Fund is actively managed, the sector weightings may differ from those of the Loan Index.
