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 Babson Capital Management 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
Babson Capital 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.
