This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated and if you hold your shares:

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 54% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in floating rate loans, which are often lower-quality debt securities, and other floating rate securities.
  • Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
  • Investing in money market and investment-grade debt securities, and repurchase agreements.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality), including floating rate loans, involve greater risk of default on interest and principal payments or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities, including floating rate loans, can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
  • Impairment of Collateral. A floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized which may cause the floating rate loan to decline significantly in value.
  • Floating Rate Loan Liquidity. Floating rate loans generally are subject to restrictions on resale. Floating rate loans sometimes trade infrequently in the secondary market. As a result, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult, and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult or delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.
  • Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can limit the potential for gains when the credit quality of the issuer improves.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the Additional Information about the Index section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Unlike the returns in the bar chart, the returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales charges. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. After-tax returns for Class A are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will vary. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.
