Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to provide a high level of total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in fixed income securities issued by United States corporations.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies that the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests primarily in a diversified pool of fixed income securities, such as bonds and debentures issued by corporations or obtains exposure to such securities; invests primarily in high yield securities rated below BBB at the time of investment by Standard and Poor’s Rating Service or the equivalent rating as defined by other recognized rating agencies.
