PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Debt Securities
The Fund may invest in debt obligations rated below investment grade or
non-rated securities.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS
Lower-Quality Debt
The Fund may invest in high-yield, lower-rated debt securities. Lower-
rated debt securities are considered highly speculative and changes in
economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than with higher-
grade debt securities.
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan. The Distribution Plan provides
that the Funds may pay distribution fees up to 0.25% of their average daily
net assets for distribution services.
