Hedging Risk – IVOL

The Fund’s use of such instruments is intended to mitigate the curve risk and is not intended to mitigate credit risk, or non-curve interest rate risk. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investments will completely eliminate the curve or inflation risk of the long positions in U.S. government bonds. In addition, when the swap curve flattens, the Fund’s investments will generally underperform a portfolio comprised solely of the U.S. government bonds. In a flattening curve environment, the Fund’s hedging strategy could result in disproportionately larger losses in the Fund’s options as compared to gains or losses in the U.S. government bond positions attributable to interest rate changes.
