Overview
Investment Objective
Seeks to realize over a period of years the highest yield consistent with investing in investment grade bonds.
Who Should Invest?

Fund Resources
Risk Measure 
| Fixed Income |
| Conservative Risk |
Types of risk:
Interest Rate RiskThe risk that when interest rates increase, securities held by an Underlying Investment will decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities will normally have more price volatility than short-term securities because of the risk.
The risk that homeowners or consumers may repay loans before they are due, which may affect the yield of mortgage- or asset-backed securities related to such loans.
The risk that an issuer of a debt security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the income of an Underlying Investment investing in such debt security might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to repay the principal, the value of that security and of the Underlying Investment's shares might be reduced.
The risk that the fund manager's assessment of companies whose securities are held in the fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in a rising market.
The risk that the fund manager may have difficulty selling securities the fund holds at the time it would like to sell and at the value the fund has placed on those securities.
The risk that the income from a fund's investments will decline because of falling market interest rates.
