Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide interest income along with the opportunity for growth by investing primarily in lower quality investment grade fixed-income securities and higher quality non-investment grade securities, known as crossover bonds, that are primarily issued by corporations in developed markets.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: the fund invests primarily in bonds and debentures issued by corporations in developed markets, including the U.S. and Europe. The fund may also invest in debt securities issued by issuers in other jurisdictions; the fund invests primarily in securities rated BBB and BB at the time of investment by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service or the equivalent rating from other recognized rating agencies.
