A high yield (subinvestment grade) debt instrument/security is one which carries a higher rate of interest, usually because the investors are accepting a higher degree of risk. The Fund is also permitted to invest to a lesser extent in other types of debt instruments such as other types of high yield corporate debt instruments, investment grade bonds, other Funds, cash and cash-equivalent securities and money market instruments. The Fund will invest at least 50% of the Fund’s total assets in fixed income instruments of companies that exhibit positive or improving environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics.
