Investment Strategy

The investment seeks high current income, and capital growth is a secondary goal when consistent with achieving high current income. The fund invests mainly in bonds that are obligations of U.S. companies, are below investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities. Under normal circumstances, it invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities rated below-investment-grade. The adviser may consider, among other factors, credit, interest rate and prepayment risks, as well as general market conditions, when deciding whether to buy or sell investments. The fund may also invest in other debt instruments, including loans.
