The Fund seeks to pay a distribution at a rate that reflects net
investment income actually earned. A portion of each distribution
may be treated as paid from sources other than net investment
income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain,
long-term capital gain or return of capital. The final
determination of the source and tax characteristics of these
distributions will depend upon the Fund's investment experience
during its fiscal year and will be made after the Fund's year end.
The Fund will send to investors a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar
year that will define how to report these distributions for federal
income tax purposes.
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment
company that is managed by Barings LLC. The Fund invests
primarily in short-duration, global high yield bonds with the
objective of seeking as high a level of current income as Barings
determines is consistent with capital preservation, with a
secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund expects
to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration, including the
effects of leverage, of 3 years or less.
