Investment Strategy
The investment seeks a high level of current income by investing in high-yield debt securities. The portfolio's sub-adviser, Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC, seeks to achieve the portfolio's objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the portfolio's net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in high-yield bonds (commonly known as "junk bonds"). Junk bonds are high-risk debt securities rated below investment grade (that is, securities rated below BBB by Standard & Poor's or Fitch or below Baa by Moody's or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the sub-adviser).
