Teton Convertible Securities Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund specializing in convertible securities, which are financial instruments such as bonds or preferred stocks that can be converted into a company’s common stock. The fund's primary objectives are to provide a high level of current income alongside long-term capital appreciation. To achieve this, it invests at least 80% of its net assets in convertible securities, with the flexibility to allocate up to 20% to common stocks, non-convertible preferred stocks, and other fixed income securities. This structure allows the fund to blend the income and stability of bonds with the growth potential of equities, aiming for an attractive risk-return profile. The fund can invest across all market capitalizations and credit qualities, including securities from smaller companies and debt rated below investment grade. Managed using both equity and credit analysis, the fund evaluates structural factors of each holding to optimize total return potential. By focusing on convertibles, the fund plays a unique role in the market, offering investors exposure to hybrid instruments that can participate in stock market upside while mitigating downside risk through bond-like features.
