These securities generally will be, at the time of purchase, rated “BB” or below by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P) or Fitch, rated “Ba” or below by Moody’s, or unrated but determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. The Fund invests primarily in domestic corporate below investment grade securities (including private placements), U.S. dollar-denominated foreign corporate below investment grade securities (including private placements), zero-coupon bonds and U.S. Government obligations. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities that may include convertible securities. The Fund is not managed to a specific duration.
