Symphony Floating Rate Senior Loan Fund (the "Fund") invests primarily in floating-rate Senior Loans, which are the most senior corporate obligations of a borrower, and are secured by the borrower's assets. Senior Loans have a first-priority secured claim on repayment, ahead of bonds and equity. Additionally, Symphony believes that senior loan credit fundamentals remain strong as U.S. economic growth remains intact and corporate default rates are expected to remain low.

U.S. short-term interest rates (as commonly measured by 3-month LIBOR) were at all-time lows in 2014, but have increased significantly since that time¹, and are expected to increase further in the future. Senior Loans feature floating rate interest payments which are linked to US short-term rates; this feature may help investors avoid the negative performance that fixed-rate bonds may experience during periods of rising interest rates.

The Fund is available for purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SSF.UN.
