The investment seeks to maximize income and achieve above average total return consistent with reasonable risk over a full market cycle. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in high yield/below investment grade bonds (commonly known as "junk bonds"). It may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities (including common stock and convertible and non-convertible preferred stocks) and bank loans of companies in the high yield universe. The fund may also invest in debt securities.
