securities.

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: The Fund invests in securities of
non-U.S. issuers which are subject to higher volatility than
securities of U.S. issuers. Risks may be heightened for securities
of companies located in, or with significant operations in,
emerging market countries. Because the Fund invests in non-U.S.
securities, you may lose money if the local currency of a non-U.S.
market depreciates against the U.S. dollar.
The Fund invests in non-investment grade debt instruments,
commonly referred to as "high-yield securities". High yield
securities are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of
loss than securities with higher ratings. Lower-quality debt tends
to be less liquid than higher-quality debt.
The debt securities in which the Fund invests are subject to
certain risks, including issuer risk, reinvestment risk, prepayment
risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk. Issuer risk is the risk
that the value of fixed-income securities may decline for a number
of reasons which directly relate to the issuer. Reinvestment risk
is the risk that income from the Fund's portfolio will decline if
the Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called bonds
at market interest rates that are below the Fund portfolio's
current earnings rate. Prepayment risk is the risk that, upon a
prepayment, the actual outstanding debt on which the Fund derives
interest income will be reduced. Credit risk is the risk that an
issuer of a security will be unable or unwilling to make dividend,
interest and/or principal payments when due and that the value of a
security may decline as a result. Interest rate risk is the risk
that fixed-income securities will decline in value because of
changes in market interest rates.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can
magnify the effect of any losses.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.

Financial advisors must determine whether particular investments
