Below investment grade securities risk: Below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") are regarded as being predominantly speculative as to the issuer's ability to make payments of principal and interest. Investment in such securities involves substantial risk. Issuers of below investment grade securities may be highly leveraged and may not have available to them more traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the risks associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally are greater than is the case with higher-rated securities.

Credit risk: The issuer of a security, the borrower of a loan or the counterparty to a contract may default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Changes in an issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness also may affect the value of the fund's investment in that issuer. Non-investment grade securities carry a higher risk of default and should be considered speculative.

Illiquidity risk: Due to restrictions on transfers in loan agreements and the nature of the private syndication of Senior Loans including, for example, the lack of publicly available information, some Senior Loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly traded securities. No active trading market may exist for certain Senior Loans and other fixed income instruments and some Senior Loans may be subject to restrictions on resale. Secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads. This may impair the ability of the fund to sell or realize the full value of its Senior Loans or other fixed income instruments in the event of a need to liquidate such assets.

Transactions in Senior Loans may settle on a delayed basis, resulting in the proceeds from the sale of Senior Loans not being readily available to make additional investments or to meet the fund's redemption obligations. To the extent the extended settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, the fund may hold cash, sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders.

Market risk: The market value of an instrument may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations, which are often referred to as "volatility," may cause an instrument to be worth less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, commodity, sector of the economy, or the market as a whole. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments. Market risk is common to most investments—including stocks, bonds and commodities—and the mutual funds that invest in them. The performance of "value" stocks and "growth"

stocks may rise or decline under varying market conditions—for example, value stocks may perform well under circumstances in which growth stocks in general have fallen.

Bonds and other fixed income securities generally involve less market risk than stocks and commodities. However, the risk of bonds can vary significantly depending upon factors such as the issuer's creditworthiness and a bond's maturity. The bonds of some companies may be riskier than the stocks of others.

Reference rate replacement risk: The fund may be exposed to financial instruments that recently transitioned from, or continue to be tied to, the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value.

The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), which regulates LIBOR, ceased publishing all LIBOR settings. In April 2023, the FCA announced that some USD LIBOR settings would continue to be published under a synthetic methodology until September 30, 2024 for certain legacy contracts. After September 30, 2024, the remaining synthetic LIBOR settings ceased to be published, and all LIBOR settings have permanently ceased. The Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement ("repo") market and has been used increasingly on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Under U.S. regulations that implement a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, benchmark rates based on SOFR have replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts.

Neither the effect of the LIBOR transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. While some existing LIBOR-based instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate-setting methodology, there may be significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative methodologies to replicate LIBOR. Not all existing LIBOR-based instruments may have alternative rate-setting provisions and there remains uncertainty regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to add alternative rate-setting provisions in certain existing instruments. Parties to contracts, securities or other instruments using LIBOR may disagree on transition rates or the application of transition regulation, potentially resulting in uncertainty of performance and the possibility of litigation. The fund may have instruments

linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future.

Valuation risk: The lack of an active trading market may make it difficult to obtain an accurate price for an instrument held by the fund.

Investments in the fund are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Collateralized loan obligations risk: CLOs are subject to the risk of substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease of market value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs depend largely on the type of the underlying loans and the tranche of CLOs in which the fund invests. In addition, CLOs carry risks including interest rate risk and credit risk.

Convertible securities risk: The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. Since it derives a portion of its

value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. The fund, as a holder of convertible bonds, may at times be allocated phantom taxable income from bond issuers, potentially retroactively or otherwise without notice.

Derivatives risk: Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, instrument or index. The fund may use derivatives as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to certain risks, such as currency risk. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks described elsewhere in this Prospectus, such as illiquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk and regulatory risk. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the fund will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial.

Foreign securities risk: Investing outside the U.S. carries additional risks that include:

•  Currency risk Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by foreign-currency-denominated investments and may widen any losses. The fund may, but is not required to, seek to reduce currency risk by hedging part or all of its exposure to various foreign currencies.

•  Information risk Key information about an issuer, security or market may be inaccurate or unavailable.

•  Political risk Foreign governments may expropriate assets, impose capital or currency controls, and/or sanctions impose punitive taxes, or nationalize a company or industry. Any of these actions could have a severe effect on security prices and impair the fund's ability to bring its capital or income back to the U.S. Other political risks include economic policy changes, social and political instability, military action and war,

such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Hedged exposure risk: The fund's hedging activities could multiply losses generated by a derivative used for hedging purposes. Such losses should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment. However, while hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains.

Interest rate risk: Changes in interest rates may cause a decline in the market value of an investment. With bonds and other debt instruments, a rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values, while a fall in interest rates typically causes a rise in values. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility, and could negatively impact the fund's performance. Generally, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt instrument, the greater the impact of a change in interest rates on the instrument's value. In periods of market volatility, the market values of fixed income securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks: The value of the fund's mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise. If the underlying mortgages are paid off sooner than expected, the fund may have to reinvest this money in mortgage-backed or other securities that have lower yields.

Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing asset-backed securities. The value of the fund's asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.

Senior loans risks: Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a Senior Loan, which typically holds the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans. Senior Loans are also subject to heightened prepayment risk, as they usually have mandatory and optional prepayment provisions. Senior Loans are subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate.

U.S. Government securities risk: Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
