Investment Objectives

The Fund's objective is to generate a high level of income and maximize return by investing primarily in fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by corporations around the world and rated BB+ equivalent or lower.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager seeks to maximize the total return of the portfolio through a bottom-up approach to corporate fixed-income security selection and a top-down approach to category allocation and duration management. This Fund may also invest in floating rate loans. The portfolio manager aims to select fixed-income securities that provide an attractive return relative to the risk of each credit.
