Fund Description

The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) or, if unrated, are considered by the subadviser to be of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its investable assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed income instruments that are below investment grade (commonly referred to as junk bonds) with varying maturities and other investments (including derivatives) with similar economic characteristics. The term “below investment grade” refers to instruments either rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or comparably rated by another NRSRO, or, if unrated, considered by the subadviser to be of comparable quality. The term “investable assets” refers to the Fund’s net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund’s investable assets will be less than its total assets to the extent that it has borrowed money for non-investment purposes, such as to meet anticipated redemptions.Although the Fund may invest in instruments of any duration or maturity, the Fund normally will seek to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration of three years or less and a weighted average maturity of five years or less. As of August 31, 2024, the Fund’s weighted average portfolio duration was 2.18 years and the Fund’s weighted average maturity was 3.14 years.The types of fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest include bonds, debentures, notes, commercial paper, floating rate or variable rate instruments and other similar types of debt instruments, as well as loan participations and assignments, money market instruments, payment-in-kind securities and derivatives related to or referencing these types of securities and instruments. The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments of companies or governments. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its investable assets in U.S. currency-denominated fixed income securities issued by foreign issuers, including issuers in emerging markets. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its investable assets in non-U.S. currency-denominated fixed income securities issued by foreign or domestic issuers.In managing the Fund’s assets, the subadviser uses a combination of top-down economic analysis and bottom-up research in conjunction with proprietary quantitative models and risk management systems. In the top-down economic analysis, the subadviser develops views on economic, policy and market trends by continually evaluating economic data that affect the movement of markets and securities prices. In its bottom-up research, the subadviser develops an internal rating and outlook on issuers. The rating and outlook are determined based on a thorough review of the financial health and trends of the issuer, which includes a review of the composition of revenue, profitability, cash, flow margin and leverage. In determining which securities to buy and sell, the subadviser will consider, among other things, the financial history and condition, earnings trends, analysts' recommendations, and the prospects and the management of an issuer. The subadviser may also consider investment factors such as expected total return, yield, spread and potential for price appreciation as well as credit quality, maturity and risk. The Fund may invest in a security based upon the expected total return rather than the yield of such security. The subadviser generally will employ fundamental analysis in making such determinations. Fundamental analysis involves review of financial statements and other data to attempt to predict an issuer's prospects and to try to decide whether the price of the issuer's security is under-valued or overvalued.The Fund may use various derivative strategies to try to improve the Fund’s returns. The subadviser may also use hedging techniques to try to protect the Fund’s assets. Although the Fund has the flexibility to make use of derivatives, it may choose not to for a variety of reasons, even under very volatile market conditions.
