The investment seeks maximum total return consistent with the preservation of capital. The fund usually invests at least 80% of net assets in fixed income securities. It may hold up to 30% of assets in obligations denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and may invest beyond this limit when considering U.S.-dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The fund may invest and reinvest in long or short derivative instruments such as, but not limited to, futures contracts, options, and swap agreements.
