Principal investment strategy

Main investments . Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds of issuers from around the world, including the United States. The fund can buy many types of income-producing securities of any stated maturity, among them US and foreign government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The fund is typically invested in at least three different countries. The fund may invest up to 35% of net assets in junk bonds, which are those below the fourth credit grade (i.e. grade BB/Ba and below), and may include debt securities not currently paying interest or in default. The fund will normally have investment exposure to foreign securities, foreign currencies and other foreign investments equal to at least 40% of the fund's assets.

Management process . Portfolio management typically considers a number of factors when buying and selling securities, including economic and currency outlooks, possible interest rate movements, capital flows, debt levels, inflation trends, credit quality of issuers, security characteristics and changes in supply and demand within the global bond markets. Portfolio management may also adjust the duration (a measure of sensitivity to interest rate movements) of the fund's portfolio, depending on its outlook for interest rates. Derivatives. Portfolio management generally may use futures contracts or options, which are types of derivatives (contracts whose value are based on, for example, indices, currencies or securities) as a hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates, fixed income markets or currency markets, for duration management (i.e., reducing or increasing the sensitivity of the fund's portfolio to interest rate changes), or for non-hedging purposes to seek to enhance potential gains.

In addition, portfolio management generally may use forward currency contracts (i) to hedge the fund's exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings; (ii) to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities; or (iii) for non-hedging purposes to seek to enhance potential gains. The fund may also use other types of derivatives (i) for hedging purposes; (ii) for risk management; (iii) for non-hedging purposes to seek to enhance potential gains; or (iv) as a substitute for direct investment in a particular asset class or to keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions. Securities Lending. The fund may lend securities (up to one-third of total assets) to approved institutions. Active Trading. The fund may trade securities actively and this may lead to high portfolio turnover.
