The Fund's Investment Portfolio includes only investment grade securities purchased by the Fund's portfolio managers (the "Investment Portfolio") and does not include uninvested cash or any other Fund asset unconnected to the Fund's intended portfolio, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable or assets received as part of an issuer workout.
