Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment
return and market value of an investment in the Fund will
fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.
Principal Risk Factors: Investment in this Fund involves
investment and market risk, management risk, credit risk,
prepayment risk, reinvestment risk, interest rate risk, floating
rate collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and inverse
floating rate CMOs risk, bond market risk, economic sector risk,
inflation risk, U.S. government securities risk, government agency
risk, asset-backed securities risk, market discount risk, leverage
risk, interest rate transactions risk, derivatives risk, market
disruption risk, portfolio turnover risk, tax risk relating to
investments in certain real estate mortgage investment conduits
(“REMICs”), and illiquid/restricted securities risk.
Subordinated Debt Risk: The Fund may invest a portion of its
Managed Assets in subordinated classes of mortgage-backed
securities (“MBS”), including debt obligations issued by private
originators or issuers backed by residential mortgage loans and
multi-class debt or pass-through or pay-through securities backed
by a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans on commercial real
estate. Such subordinated classes are subject to a greater degree
of non-payment risk than are senior classes of the same issuer or
agency.
Prepayment Risk: If borrowers prepay their mortgage loans at
rates that are faster than expected, this results in prepayments
that are faster than expected on MBS. These faster than expected
prepayments may adversely affect the Fund's profitability,
particularly if the Fund is forced to invest prepayments it
receives in lower yielding securities. Moreover, the Fund may also
acquire MBS that are less affected by prepayments. While the Fund
will seek to minimize prepayment risk to the extent practical, the
Fund must balance prepayment risk against other risks and the
potential returns of each investment in selecting investments. No
strategy can completely insulate the Fund from prepayment risk.
Interest Rate Risk: The Fund may also invest in MBS which are
interest-only (“IO”) securities and principal-only (“PO”)
securities. Generally speaking, when interest rates are falling and
prepayment rates are increasing, the value of a PO security will
rise and the value of an IO security will fall. Conversely, when
interest rates are rising and prepayment rates are decreasing,
generally the value of a PO security will fall and the value of an
IO security will rise.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the
prospectus, shareholder reports, and other regulatory filings.
