In a credit default swap, a fund
may transfer the financial risk
of a credit event occurring (a
bond default, bankruptcy,
restructuring, etc.) on a
particular security or basket of
securities to another party by
paying that party a periodic

assume the financial risk of a
credit event occurring on a

another party.

Interest rate swaps, index

may be considered to be illiquid.

security or index moves in the opposite
direction from what the portfolio manager
had anticipated. A significant risk of
derivative transactions is the
creditworthiness of the counterparty,
since the transaction depends on the
willingness and ability of the
counterparty to fulfill its contractual
obligations. Derivatives also involve
additional expenses, which could reduce
any benefit or increase any loss to a
fund from using the strategy.
