Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks to maximize long-term income, to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital, through investment in bonds and other income-producing securities.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio uses an active strategy, seeking relative value to earn incremental income. The Portfolio typically invests at least 65% of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities, as assessed at the time of purchase. The remaining 35% of Portfolio net assets may be in below-investment grade, high-yield debt securities. These securities involve greater risk of default or price declines than investment grade debt securities. The Portfolio invests principally in bonds issued by U.S. corporations, the U.S. government or its agencies, and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises . The Portfolio may also invest in trust preferred securities, taxable municipal securities, asset-backed securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, repurchase agreements, and foreign debt securities. The Portfolio seeks to avoid investing in tobacco companies.

Investment Risk

Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. You could lose money on your investment in the Portfolio or the Portfolio could underperform because of the following risks: the market prices of bonds held by the Portfolio may fall; individual investments of the Portfolio may not perform as expected; and/or the Portfolio’s portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities will generally fall. In addition, the credit quality of the securities may deteriorate, which could lead to default or bankruptcy of the issuer where the issuer becomes unable to pay its obligations when due. An active trading style can result in higher turnover (exceeding 100%), may translate to higher transaction costs, may increase your tax liability, and may affect Portfolio performance. The Portfolio is nondiversified and may be more volatile than a diversified fund.

Standard Deviation is a measure of a fund's risk. A standard deviation of 1 means a fund can be expected to produce an annual return that is +/-1% of its average annual return 66% of the time.
Alpha is a measure of the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta.
Beta is a measure of portfolio risk relative to the market or benchmark. A portfolio beta of 1.0 indicates a risk level equal to that of the fund's benchmark.
Excess Return is return in excess of the risk-free rate or in excess of a benchmark.
R Squared is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund's movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index.
Tracking Error is the difference in the return earned by a portfolio and the return earned by the benchmark against which the portfolio is constructed.
Information Ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return of a mutual fund as compared to its benchmark.
Sharpe Ratio is used to measure risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by using standard deviation and return in excess of the benchmark to determine reward per unit of risk.

Net expense ratio reflects contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement through April 30, 2014.

Ratings are determined by using S&P, Moody's and Fitch rating services, whose rating categories are reflected above respectively. The letter ratings generally range from AAA (judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk) to D (the lowest rated class of bonds, typically in default with respect to timely payment of principal or interest). Bonds rated by all three services are assigned the median rating; if a bond is rated by only two agencies, it is assigned the lowest rating; if it is only rated by one agency, it is assigned that rating. Government securities may be rated lower than AAA/Aaa/AAA or may not be rated, and may include foreign government securities. If a bond is not rated by any of the aforementioned rating services, it appears in the "Not Rated" category. Ratings are subject to change.
