The investment seeks high current income plus the opportunity for capital appreciation to produce a high total return. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in below investment grade fixed-income securities. It may invest up to 30% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign fixed-income securities, including those in emerging markets. Although certain securities purchased by the fund may be issued by domestic companies incorporated outside of the United States, the Adviser does not consider these securities to be foreign if the issuer is included in the U.S. fixed-income indices published by Bloomberg.
