* Portfolio holdings and weightings are historical and are
presented here for informational purposes only. They are subject to
change at any time. Negative allocations and allocations in excess
of 100%, if any, are primarily due to the Fund's unsettled trade
activity. ** Credit quality is a measure of a bond issuer's ability
to repay interest and principal in a timely manner. The credit
ratings shown are based on each portfolio security’s rating as
provided by Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and/or
Fitch Ratings, Ltd. and typically range from AAA (highest) to D
(lowest), or an equivalent and/or similar rating. For this purpose,
when two or more of the agencies have assigned differing ratings to
a security, the lowest rating is used. Securities that are unrated
by all three agencies are reflected as such. The credit quality of
the investments in the Fund's portfolio does not apply to the
stability or safety of the Fund. These ratings are updated monthly
and may change over time. Please note, the Fund itself has not been
rated by an independent rating agency. *** The difference between
total assets and net assets, if any, is due primarily to the Fund’s
use of borrowings; net assets do not include borrowings. The Fund
may employ leverage in the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse
repurchase agreements and/or other instruments. When the Fund
engages in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s
portfolio, the value of the Fund will be more volatile and all
other risks will tend to be compounded. **** Percentages are based
on total assets. If the Fund employs leverage, the Effective
Duration is based on net assets.
