The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in investment- grade fixed income securities or unrated securities that are determined by the Subadviser to be of similar quality. Up to 20% of the Funds net assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade. The Fund also invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in fixed income securities it regards as bonds.

The Fund also invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in fixed income securities it regards as bonds. Under normal conditions, the portfolio duration generally is two to eight years and the dollar-weighted average maturity generally ranges from two to fifteen years. The Fund invests in the U.S. and abroad, including emerging markets and may purchase securities of varying maturities issued by domestic and foreign corporations and governments. The Subadviser will focus the Funds portfolio holdings in areas of the bond market (based on quality, sector, coupon or maturity) that the Subadviser believes to be relatively undervalued. Investments include various types of bonds and other securities, typically corporate bonds, notes, collateralized bond obligations, collateralized debt obligations, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, bank loans, money-market securities, swaps, futures, municipal securities, options, credit default swaps, private placements and restricted securities. These investments may have interest rates that are fixed, variable or floating. The Fund may sell short up to 25% of the value of its total assets. Derivatives will be used in an effort to hedge investments, for risk management, or to increase income or gains for the Fund. The Fund may also seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques such as reverse repurchase agreements.
