weightings are historical and are presented here for informational
purposes only and do not include derivatives such as Futures
Contracts, Options Written, and Credit Default Swaps. They are
subject to change at any time. ** The difference between
total assets and net assets, if any, is due primarily to the Fund’s
use of borrowings and other assets and liabilities; 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 based on total assets.
Dividends and distributions represent past performance. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results and there is no
guarantee that dividends and distributions will continue.

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of
principal. Investment return and the value of shares will
fluctuate. Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk,
inflation risk, call risk, and interest rate risks. As interest
rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Fund's
share price.
