The Funds investments may include non-U.S. dollar denominated instruments. The Fund may also invest in preferred securities. The Fund does not seek to maintain a particular dollar-weighted average maturity or duration target. The Fund may invest in derivatives, such as forward contracts (including forward foreign currency contracts for investment and hedging purposes), futures (including bond futures for managing yield curve and duration risk, and index and interest rate futures for hedging and managing interest exposure), options (including options on listed futures for hedging purposes), options on swaps (commonly known as swaptions) for hedging purposes, and swaps (including credit default swaps, credit default swap indexes, inflation rate and interest rate swaps for hedging and investment purposes, and total return swaps for managing market exposure). The Funds use of derivatives creates leverage (market exposure in excess of the Funds assets) in the Funds portfolio. The Fund may invest in interest-only (IO) and principal-only (PO) bonds (commonly known as stripped securities) for investment purposes. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. Such securities may include mortgage-backed securities acquired or sold in the to be announced (TBA) market and those in a dollar roll transaction. The Fund may invest in privately placed and other securities or instruments that are purchased and sold pursuant to Rule 144A or other exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain regulatory restrictions. The Funds investment strategy may involve the frequent trading of portfolio securities.
