The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in the following types of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities: U.S. government and other public-sector entities; Asset-backed and mortgage-backed obligations of U.S. and foreign issuers; and corporate debt of U.S. and foreign issuers. It invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities, but may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-investment grade securities (sometimes referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds).
