The investment seeks to provide current income and seek maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital. The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in bonds and other debt securities, which may be represented by derivatives. It may invest in a broad range of debt securities, including corporate bonds and debt and mortgage- and other asset-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
