Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) in fixed income investments. The Fund's fixed income investments include: U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities; U.S. government securities and securities of foreign governments (which may include securities issued, guaranteed or otherwise backed by the government or its agencies, instrumentalities or other sponsored enterprises such as agency mortgage-backed securities) and supranational entities; U.S. and foreign below investment grade bonds; mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"); inflation-linked investments (e.g., Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities or "TIPS"); and cash-equivalent instruments.

The Fund's CLO investments may include CLO tranches of any rating. The Fund's investments may also include "tax credit bonds" (including Build America Bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and qualified tax credit bonds) and tax-exempt bonds as well as loans of any maturity and credit quality, including "covenant-lite" loans. The Fund may also invest in credit risk transfer securities ("CRTs") and in securities that have contractual restrictions that prohibit or limit their public resale, which may include Rule 144A securities. The Fund may also invest in equity-related instruments including convertible and preferred securities and warrants. The Fund's foreign investments may include debt securities issued by emerging markets countries and companies whose principal business activities are located in emerging market countries. The Subadviser generally considers countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to be emerging market countries, but may consider other factors in determining whether an issuer is situated in an emerging market country. The Fund may, from time to time, invest a substantial portion of its assets in issuers in any country or group of countries. In addition, a substantial portion of the Fund's assets may be invested in agency residential and commercial mortgage- and other asset-backed securities. In addition, as a substitute for investments directly in debt securities, the Fund may seek exposure to such debt securities through investments in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), which may include ETFs affiliated with Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (the "Subadviser"). Under certain market conditions, the Fund may use derivative instruments including futures contracts, options, swaps, and forward contracts to seek to (i) hedge various investments, (ii) manage or adjust duration and yield curve positioning, (iii) manage risk, (iv) enhance potential returns, or (v) as substitutes for permitted Fund investments. Duration is a measure of a bond price's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve positioning represents the relationship between the interest rates of bonds having the same credit quality but different maturity dates. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 65% of its net assets in below investment grade securities or unrated securities considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds). The limit may be exceeded on a temporary basis under unusual circumstances, such as when new issue allocations are higher than expected. An investment is considered below investment grade if it is rated Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or BB+ by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or Fitch Ratings Inc., or lower or, if unrated, is considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund will consider a security to be below investment grade if at least two of the three rating agencies rates it below investment grade as described above. When a rating from only two of the rating agencies is available, the lower rating will be used. The Subadviser allocates the Fund's investments based on its detailed analysis of market, economic, political, and other factors, and of the potential for the various obligations to provide high current income and/or capital appreciation. The Subadviser selects specific investments for the Fund by considering a wide variety of factors, including yield, potential for appreciation in value, the credit quality of the issuer or collateral, maturity, and the degree of perceived risk associated with a specific investment relative to the potential for favorable investment returns and to other investments. The Subadviser typically may sell investments when it believes that they no longer offer attractive potential future returns compared to other investment opportunities or that they present undesirable risks, or in an attempt to limit losses on investments that may decline or have declined in value.
