1   The current net investment income is derived directly from the accounting records which may be different than net investment income for financial statement reporting purposes included in the Fund's shareholder report. This represents a methodology change from prior earnings releases that utilized adjusted net investment income for financial statement reporting purposes. Therefore, prior reported numbers may not be directly comparable to those noted above and going forward.  

Any performance information reflects the deduction of the Fund’s fees and expenses, as indicated in its shareholder reports, such as management fees, custody fees, exchange listing fees, etc. It does not reflect any transaction charges that a shareholder may incur when (s)he buys or sells shares (e.g., a shareholder’s brokerage commissions).

Investing in the Fund entails specific risks, such as interest rate risk, the greater credit risks inherent in investing primarily in lower-rated, higher-yielding bonds as well as the increased risk of using leverage (that is, borrowing money to invest in additional portfolio securities).
