At April 30, 2019, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts
securities with a value of $7,561,000 in connection with open forward
currency contracts.

A. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the
valuation date. Bonds and temporary cash investments are valued using the
latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which
considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and
ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured
debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are
valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix
system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-
adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity,
credit enhancements, and collateral. Equity securities are valued at the
latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the
primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on
the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and
asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before
the fund's pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary
markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures
adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining
quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify
significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in
the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts,
or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and
the fund's pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of
securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from
quoted or published prices for the same securities.

B. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using
exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund's
pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of
changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined
with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value
of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates
are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets
or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as
realized foreign currency gains (losses).

C. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency
contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and
payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund's risks
in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the
counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund
mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts
only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their
financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its
counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as
security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral
pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or
rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event
of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate
the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either
party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or
retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the
master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain
provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the
fund's net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by
the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the
termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund
has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted
in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged
is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure
with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified
minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained
from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the
expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are
not recorded in the Schedule of Investments. Fluctuations in the value of
the contracts are recorded as an asset (liability).

D. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the
overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight
credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell
credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in
long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less
attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a
given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment
may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of
the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer
that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example,
the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy,
failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap,
the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap
contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the
buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt
instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional
amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the
difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant
debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a
pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Schedule of
Investments. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received
from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in
value is recorded as an asset (liability) and as unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take
delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined)
upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap
terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium
to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily
and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon
the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt
instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt
instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be
significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically
settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk
associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty
may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The
fund's maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized
appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk
by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified
counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master
netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its
counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In
the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund
cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a
counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any
swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by
either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell
or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under
the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions
whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund's net
assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if
the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The
payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any

securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the
Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is
compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each
counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum
transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

The fund enters into centrally cleared credit default swaps to achieve the
same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter
swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The
clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund's
performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing
changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate
counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified
executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers,
executing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with
its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

E. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with
institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund
under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the
agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot
be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the
market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest
and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering
into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified
counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into
master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase
agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty's default
(including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements
with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain
the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be
subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of
collateral.

F. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund's
investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's own
assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any
investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the
Schedule of Investments.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund's investments
as of April 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:
