Managed Assets financial
"The Fund may invest up to 35% of its Managed Assets in investments..."
Managed assets are the financial investments—such as stocks, bonds, cash, or real estate—that a professional firm or advisor oversees and makes decisions about on behalf of clients. They matter to investors because the amount and performance of these assets influence a manager’s revenue, reputation, and the client’s potential returns, much like the size and health of a garden reflect a gardener’s skill and likely harvest.
non-investment-grade financial
"investments that, at the time of purchase, are rated lower than investment grade..."
Non-investment-grade describes bonds or debt issued by entities judged to have higher risk of failing to meet payment obligations than higher-rated borrowers. Think of it like lending to someone with a shaky credit history: you may be paid more interest to take the chance, but the chance of loss is greater. For investors, this affects expected returns, borrowing costs for issuers, portfolio risk, and whether certain funds or institutions are allowed to hold the security.
high yield financial
"These non-investment-grade investments are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds."
High yield describes an investment that offers a higher-than-average return, usually in the form of interest or dividends, because it carries greater risk of loss or default. Investors pay attention to high-yield opportunities like they would to a higher-paying job that comes with tougher conditions: they can boost income but require careful evaluation of the extra risk and the issuer’s ability to make promised payments.
junk bonds financial
"These non-investment-grade investments are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds."
Bonds issued by companies with weaker financial strength that pay higher interest to compensate for a greater chance the issuer may fail to make payments — like lending money to someone with a shaky income who offers to pay more interest. Investors watch junk bonds because they can boost income and returns, but they also increase the risk of loss and portfolio swings, so they are chosen only when the potential reward justifies taking extra credit risk.
