The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in debt securities that are below-investment grade. It invests principally in below investment-grade debt securities (often called "high yield" securities or "junk bonds") of corporate issuers. Securities in the fund's portfolio may be issued by domestic or foreign issuers (including foreign governments), and may include securities of emerging markets issuers.
