Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in below investment grade bonds and bank loans (sometimes called “high yield” or “junk”), which are rated, at the time of purchase, Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P Global”). If the bond or bank loan has been rated by only one of the rating agencies, that rating will determine the rating of the bond or bank loan; if the bond or bank loan is rated differently by the rating agencies, the highest rating will be used; and if the bond or bank loan has not been rated by either of those agencies, those selecting such investments will determine the quality of the bond or bank loan. The Fund also invests in investment grade bank loans (also known as senior floating rate interests) and securities of foreign issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Fund maintains an average portfolio duration that is within ±20% of the duration of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, which as of January 31, 2024 was 3.33 years. The Fund is not managed to a particular maturity.
