Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, we invest:
■
at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in debt securities;
■
up to 35% of the Fund’s total assets in debt securities that are below investment-grade; and
■
up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in debt securities of foreign issuers, including emerging markets issuers and debt securities denominated in foreign currencies.
We invest principally in debt securities, including corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, bank loans, foreign sovereign debt, supranational agencies, and U.S. Government obligations. These securities may have fixed, floating or variable rates and may include debt securities of both domestic and foreign issuers. We invest in both investment-grade and below investment-grade debt securities (often called “high yield” securities or “junk bonds”), including unrated securities, as well as securities that are in default at the time of purchase.
We may invest in debt securities of foreign issuers, including emerging markets issuers, denominated in any currency. We may seek to add yield by having exposures to a variety of credits, mortgages, and higher yielding countries and currencies. We may also use futures and swap agreements to manage risk or to enhance return. We may enter into currency-related transactions through derivative instruments, including currency and cross currency forwards. The use of derivative currency transactions is intended to allow the Fund to manage, hedge or reduce a foreign currency-specific risk exposure of a portfolio security or its denominated currency or to obtain net long exposure to selected currencies for the purpose of generating income or additional returns.
While we may purchase securities of any maturity or duration, under normal circumstances, we expect to maintain an overall portfolio dollar-weighted average effective duration that is within 1 year of that of the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg  U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, had a duration of 6.81 years, as of November 30, 2021. “Dollar-Weighted Average Effective Duration” is an aggregate measure of the sensitivity of a fund’s fixed income portfolio securities to changes in interest rates. As a general matter, the price of a fixed income security with a longer effective duration will fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates than the price of a fixed income security with a shorter effective duration.
We start our investment process with a top-down, macroeconomic outlook to determine portfolio duration and yield curve positioning as well as industry, sector and credit quality allocations. Macroeconomic factors considered may include, among others, the pace of economic growth, employment conditions, corporate profits, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, as well as the influence of international economic and financial conditions. Within these parameters, we then apply rigorous credit research to select individual securities that we believe can add value from income and/or the potential for capital appreciation. Our credit research may include an assessment of an issuer’s general financial condition, its competitive positioning and management strength, as well as industry characteristics and other factors including an assessment of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors that are deemed to have material business and/or financial risk. The ESG factors utilized in the fund’s investment process may change over time, some factors may not be relevant with respect to all issuers and may or may not be determinative in the security selection process.  We may sell a security due to changes in credit characteristics or outlook, as well as changes in portfolio
strategy or cash flow needs. A security may also be sold and replaced with one that presents a better value or risk/reward profile.
