Investment objective & strategy

As of Nov. 24, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The fund seeks high current income.

Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield debt securities. High yield securities are rated below investment grade (that is, securities rated below the Baa/BBB categories, or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the subadviser) and are commonly known as high yield or junk bonds. The funds investments may include, but will not be limited to, high yield corporate debt securities and adjustable rate bank loans. Although the fund may invest in securities of any maturity, the fund normally expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective duration, as estimated by the subadviser, of three years or less. Effective duration seeks to measure the expected sensitivity of market price to … Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield debt securities.

The funds investments may include, but will not be limited to, high yield corporate debt securities and adjustable rate bank loans. Although the fund may invest in securities of any maturity, the fund normally expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective duration, as estimated by the subadviser, of three years or less. Effective duration seeks to measure the expected sensitivity of market price to changes in interest rates, taking into account the anticipated effects of particular features of a security (for example, some bonds can be prepaid by the issuer). Subject to its 80% investment policy, the fund may also invest in investment grade fixed income securities, including, but not limited to, corporate debt securities, mortgage- and asset-backed securities and securities issued by foreign issuers, including securities issued by issuers in emerging market countries. The funds investments in foreign securities may either be denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. Instead of, and/or in addition to, investing directly in particular securities, the fund may use instruments such as derivatives, including options, forwards, interest rate swaps and other swaps (including buying and selling credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps), foreign currency futures, forwards and options, and futures contracts, and other synthetic instruments that are intended to provide economic exposure to the securities or the issuer or to be used as a hedging technique. The fund may use one or more types of these instruments without limit, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. For additional information regarding derivatives, see More on the funds investment strategies, investments and risksDerivatives in the Prospectus. These instruments are taken into account when determining compliance with the funds 80% policy. The fund may also engage in a variety of transactions using derivatives in order to change the investment characteristics of its portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration) and for other purposes.
