  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks current income with capital appreciation and growth of income.
Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in "bonds." Bonds include debt obligations of any maturity, such as bonds, notes, bills and debentures. It invests predominantly in bonds issued by governments, government-related entities and government agencies located around the world. The fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in bonds that are rated below investment grade or, if unrated determined by the investment manager to be of comparable quality. It is non-diversified.
  Morningstar Category: Global Bond
Global bond portfolios typically invest 40% or more of their assets in fixed-income instruments issued outside of the U.S. These portfolios invest primarily in investment-grade rated issues, but their strategies can vary. Some follow a conservative approach, sticking with high-quality bonds from developed markets. Others are more adventurous, owning some lower-quality bonds from developed or emerging markets. Some portfolios invest exclusively outside the U.S., while others invest in both U.S. and non-U.S. bonds. Many consistently maintain significant allocations to non-U.S. dollar currencies, while others have the flexibility to make sizeable adjustments between their U.S. dollar and non-U.S. currency exposures.
