Investment Strategy

The investment seeks to provide a high level of current income; capital appreciation is the secondary consideration. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in high yield debt securities and bank loans that are rated below-investment grade or unrated. It has a short duration investment strategy, which seeks to maintain, under normal market conditions, a blended (or weighted average) portfolio duration of three years or less. Under normal market conditions, the fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in non-U.S. securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies.
