| The investment seeks high current income. The fund primarily invests in high yield, below investment grade corporate bonds. Although the fund considers ratings assigned by ratings agencies in selecting high yield bonds, it relies principally on its own research and investment analysis. The fund may sell a bond when it shows deteriorating fundamentals or it falls short of the portfolio manager?s expectations. It may also decide to continue to hold a bond (or related securities) after a default. |
