FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks total return with current income; high current income is a secondary consideration. The fund primarily invests corporate bonds rated BB or lower by S&P or similarly rated by another NRSRO or, if unrated, judged to be of comparable quality. These securities are commonly known as high-yield bonds or junk bonds and involve greater risks than investment grade bonds. It also invests in unrated bonds we judge to be of comparable quality. The fund may also invest in U.S. and foreign government securities and corporate bonds of foreign issuers.
