Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

International investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit/default and liquidity risks, and may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

The fund’s benchmark is a custom index comprised of four separate indexes which track various security types. The weightings assigned to each component index of the benchmark are fixed, but do not necessarily reflect the fund’s allocation to the type of fixed-income securities represented by the component indexes, which will vary.

Investors should carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other information, contact us or view the prospectus provided on this website. Please carefully read the prospectus before investing.

For additional information, including definitions of related terms and indexes, see the Financial Glossary and Benchmark Index Glossary.
