Risks
Counterparty risk:
The Fund could lose money if an entity with which it does business becomes unwilling or is unable to meet its obligations to the Fund.
Credit risk:
A bond or money market security could lose value if the issuer's financial health weakens. Below investment grade bonds (also known as high yield securities) typically have greater credit risk than investment grade securities.
Default risk:
Issuers of certain bonds or money market instruments could become unable to make payments on their bonds, causing a reduction in income to the Fund and also in the value of bonds held by the Fund. Under extreme market or economic conditions, defaults could be widespread and their effect on Fund performance significant.
Derivatives risk:
Derivatives are instruments that can be complex and highly volatile, have some degree of unpredictability (especially in unusual market conditions), and can create losses significantly greater than the cost of the derivative itself.
Fixed Income Risk:
Investments in fixed interest securities are impacted by market and credit risk and are sensitive to changes in interest rates and market expectations of future inflation. Bonds that produce a higher level of income usually have a greater risk of default.
Hedging risk:
Any measures taken to offset specific risks will generate costs (which reduce performance), could work imperfectly or not at all, and if they do work will reduce opportunities for gain.
Illiquid securities risk:
Certain assets held in the Fund could, by nature, be hard to value or to sell at a desired time or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities), and as a result their prices could be very volatile.
Interest rate risk — bonds:
When interest rates rise, bond values generally fall. This risk is generally greater for longer-term bonds and for bonds with higher credit quality.
