The investment seeks a high level of current income; the fund's secondary objective is to seek capital growth when that is consistent with its primary objective. The fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign high yield instruments ("junk bonds"), defined as bonds, convertible securities, forward commitments, loan participations and assignments, preferred stocks and Rule 144A securities.
