The Fund’s holdings are subject to change at any time. Characteristics are expressed as a percentage of net assets.

All Funds (with the exception of the Money Market Fund) exclude cash and cash equivalent securities from Top holdings and Top issuers.

Goal and Strategy

The Fund’s primary objective is to generate a high level of current income consistent with prudent risk. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in income securities, which include a diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds. In choosing bonds for the portfolio, the Fund’s managers evaluate the full spectrum of bonds in the marketplace and diversifies across a number of industries. It is contemplated that the Fund may invest up to 25% of the value of its total assets in debt securities that have a rating of below-investment grade by Moody's and Standard & Poor's at the time of purchase.

The performance data shown represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so that investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited.

Performance figures assume that all distributions are reinvested.

What You Should Know

Closed-end fund shares are not redeemable, but instead are traded in the secondary market on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ. They frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. Specialized funds may carry additional risks.
