The investment seeks to maximize capital appreciation and income. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests in a portfolio of investment grade, U.S. fixed income securities of any maturity or duration. It also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in any combination of high yield bonds (also known as "junk bonds") and non-U.S. fixed income securities, including emerging market bonds. The fund will invest primarily in U.S. corporate, government, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed income securities and privately issued securities, but may also invest in U.S. Treasury interest rate futures, forward currency contracts and credit default swaps.
