Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, we invest:
■
at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in below investment-grade corporate debt securities; and
■
up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities of foreign issuers.
We invest principally in below investment-grade debt securities (often called “high-yield” securities or “junk bonds”) of corporate issuers. These include traditional corporate bonds as well as bank loans. These securities may have fixed, floating or variable rates. As part of our below investment-grade debt securities investment strategy, we will generally invest in securities that are rated BB through CCC by Standard & Poor’s or Ba through Caa by Moody’s, or an equivalent quality rating from another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization, or are deemed by us to be of comparable quality.  We may also use credit default swap agreements to reduce cash positions and to cost-effectively increase credit exposure, and futures to manage duration exposure. While we may purchase securities of any maturity, under normal circumstances, we expect the Fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity to be three years or less. “Dollar-Weighted Average Effective Maturity” is a measure of the average time until the final payment of principal and interest is due on fixed income securities in the Fund’s portfolio.
We start our investment process with a focus on bottom-up fundamental credit analysis to generate new ideas, to understand the potential risks, to select individual securities that may potentially add value from income and/or 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.
