The investment seeks high current income; capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective.
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high-yield/high-risk securities rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade may include their unrated equivalents or other high-yielding securities the portfolio managers believe offer attractive risk/return characteristics.
The fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities that involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible. Additional risk information for this product may be found in the prospectus or other product materials, if available.
