Fund Description

Main investments. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in adjustable rate loans that have a senior right to payment (“senior loans”) and other floating rate debt securities.Senior loans typically are of below investment-grade quality and, compared to investment grade loans, may pay higher yields and have higher volatility and higher risk of default on payments of interest or principal. The fund invests in senior loans that may not be rated by a rating agency, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission or listed on any national exchange. Senior loans may have longer trade settlement periods than other types of investments.In addition, the fund may invest a portion of its assets in senior loans that are not secured by collateral. Such unsecured loans involve a greater risk of loss.In addition to investments in US-dollar denominated loans of US companies, investments may include US-dollar denominated loans of non-US companies and non-US dollar denominated loans of both US and non-US companies. The fund may acquire senior loans of borrowers engaged in any industry, but will invest no more than 25% of its total assets in senior loans of borrowers and securities of issuers in any one industry. The fund does not have a targeted maturity range for its portfolio.Under normal market conditions, up to 20% of the fund’s total assets may be held in cash and other investments, including, but not limited to, fixed-rate debt obligations, short- to medium-term notes, high-yield securities, which are those rated below the fourth highest credit rating category (that is, grade BB/Ba and below, commonly referred to as junk bonds), equity securities, hybrid and synthetic loans, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-backed securities.Management process. Portfolio management focuses on cash flow and total return analysis, and diversification among sectors, industries and individual issuers. Portfolio management uses an active process, which emphasizes relative value and total return, using intensive research to seek to identify stable to improving credit situations that may provide yield compensation for the risk of owning below investment-grade, floating rate and other investments.The investment process involves a top-down approach to assess the overall risk and return in the market and considers macro trends in the economy, and a bottom-up approach using relative value and fundamental analysis to seek to select the best investments within each industry. Portfolio management typically considers a number of factors, including debt leverage and interest coverage, financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, independent credit research, management visits and conference calls, as part of its analysis and research process.Securities lending. The fund may lend securities (up to one-third of total assets) to approved institutions, such as registered broker-dealers, pooled investment vehicles, banks and other financial institutions. In connection with such loans, the fund receives liquid collateral in an amount that is based on the type and value of the securities being lent.
