The fund may invest in a broad range of debt securities, including corporate bonds and debt and mortgage and other asset-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity or duration.

The fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity or duration. The fund may invest in inflation-linked bonds issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations. Inflation-linked bonds are structured to protect against inflation by linking the bonds principal and interest payments to an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, so that principal and interest adjust to reflect changes in the index. The fund may invest in forward currency contracts, futures contracts and swaps, which are types of derivatives. A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which is based on the value of an underlying financial asset (such as a stock, bond or currency), a reference rate or a market index. The fund may invest up to 65% of its assets in securities rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by NRSROs designated by the funds investment adviser, or in securities that are unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the funds investment adviser. Securities rated BB+ or below or Ba1 or below are sometimes referred to as junk bonds. The fund may invest up to 65% of its assets in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and up to 65% of its assets in securities of emerging market issuers. The fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its primary investment strategies. The fund is nondiversified, which allows it to invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than would otherwise be the case. The investment adviser uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing the funds assets. Under this approach, the portfolio of the fund is divided into segments managed by individual managers. The fund relies on the professional judgment of its investment adviser to make decisions about the funds portfolio investments. The basic investment philosophy of the investment adviser is to seek to invest in attractively priced securities that, in its opinion, represent good, long-term investment opportunities. Securities may be sold when the investment adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities.For more information regarding the investment process of the fund, see the Management and organization section of this prospectus.
