| Investment Objective: |
The Fund may principally invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities and asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund also may invest in debt securities rated below investment grade (i.e., high yield or junk bonds) or the unrated equivalent, includ-ing from foreign and emerging markets. The investment seeks a high level of current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high-, medium- and low-grade debt securities. As a matter of non-fundamental policy, the fund will ordinarily invest at least 80% of its assets in bonds. The funds average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between five and twenty years. |
