| Investment Objective & Strategy |
|
| The investment seeks a high level of current income and may also seek capital appreciation.
|
|
| The fund invests primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds). The adviser uses a neutral mix of approximately 45% high yield, 30% U.S. government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 10% foreign developed markets. |
|
|
| 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. |
