The Fund can invest in various types of debt securities, generally referred to as bonds, including government bonds, corporate debt obligations, structured notes, participation interests in loans, zero coupon or stripped securities, certain mortgage-related securities or asset-backed securities and other debt obligations. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund typically invests in at least three countries other than the United States. The Fund invests in debt securities of issuers in both developed and emerging markets throughout the world. The Fund may buy securities issued by companies of any size or market capitalization range and at times might emphasize securities of issuers in a particular capitalization range. It can invest in debt securities having short, intermediate or long maturities. The Fund does not limit its investments to a particular credit quality or rating category and can invest without limit in securities rated below investment grade (commonly called junk bonds). Investment grade debt securities are rated in one of the top four categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moodys Ratings or S&P Global Ratings (S&P). If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the investment adviser uses the highest rating assigned. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities in which case the Funds investment adviser may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the investment advisers credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund may also invest in certain restricted securities and securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) including securities that are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (referred to as Rule 144A Securities). The Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to manage investment risks, including, for example, options, forward contracts, futures contracts, swaps, and structured notes. The Fund actively manages foreign currency exposure, to seek to both reduce risk and enhance return. To do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange derivatives, including forwards and options that reference foreign currencies, including currencies of developing and emerging market countries. In selecting securities, the portfolio managers evaluate the overall investment opportunities and risks in individual national economies. The portfolio managers analyze the business cycle, political and macroeconomic factors that affect exchange rates and interest rates in both emerging market and developing countries. The portfolio managers currently focus on investment opportunities for higher yields than are available in U.S. markets and opportunities in investments denominated in foreign currencies that compare favorably to the U.S. dollar. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a Cayman Islands exempted company that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary invests in Regulation S securities. Regulation S securities are securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Funds investment in the Subsidiary may vary based on the portfolio managers use of different types of foreign securities and other investments. Since the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold certain of the investments described in this prospectus, the Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in those investments through its Subsidiary. Therefore, references in this prospectus to investments by the Fund also may be deemed to include the Funds indirect investments through the Subsidiary. Show less
