| Investment Objective & Strategy |
|
| The investment seeks a high level of current income; long-term capital appreciation is the secondary objective.
|
|
| The fund invests its assets primarily to predominantly in U.S. and foreign debt securities, including those in emerging markets. It may invest up to 100% of its assets in high yield, lower-quality debt securities (also known as "junk bonds"). The fund may invest in many different securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by non-U.S. governments, or their respective agencies or instrumentalities, including mortgage-backed securities and inflation-indexed securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. |

| Morningstar Category: Multisector Bond |
|
| Multisector-bond portfolios seek income by diversifying their assets among several fixed-income sectors, usually U.S. government obligations, U.S. corporate bonds, foreign bonds, and high-yield U.S. debt securities. These portfolios typically hold 35% to 65% of bond assets in securities that are not rated or are rated by a major agency such as Standard & Poor's or Moody's at the level of BB (considered speculative for taxable bonds) and below.

|
|
| There are no additional fund specific investment risks (e.g. liquidity risk, currency risk, foreign investment risk, etc.) associated with this fund beyond the normal risks generally associated with investing in a mutual fund. |
