  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of debt and equity securities. It may shift its investments from one asset class to another based on the investment manager's analysis of the best opportunities for the fund's portfolio in a given market. The fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade (also known as "junk bonds"), including a portion in defaulted securities. It may also invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, either directly or through depositary receipts.
  Morningstar Category: Moderately Conservative Allocation
Funds in allocation categories seek to provide both income and capital appreciation by primarily investing in multiple asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and cash. These moderately conservative strategies prioritize preservation of capital over appreciation. They typically expect volatility similar to a strategic equity exposure between 30% and 50%. 
  Investment Risks
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.
