| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | The fund seeks to maximize your level of current income and preserve your capital by investing primarily in bonds. Normally the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds and other debt securities (such as those described below), which may be represented by derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps. The fund invests in debt securities (excluding derivatives) rated BBB- or better or Baa3 or better by Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations designated by the fund’s investment adviser, or in debt securities that are unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the fund’s investment adviser, in each case at the time of purchase. The fund also invests in U.S. government securities, money market instruments, and cash and cash equivalents. The fund may invest in U.S. government securities such as treasuries which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, as well as in debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The fund may invest in inflation-linked bonds issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations. Inflation-linked bonds are structured to protect against inflation by linking the bond’s principal and interest payments to an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, so that principal and interest adjust to reflect changes in the index. The fund may invest in futures contracts and swaps, which are types of derivatives. A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which is based on the value of an underlying financial asset (such as a stock, bond or currency), a reference rate or a market index. The fund may also invest in future delivery contracts, including to-be-announced contracts. The fund is nondiversified, which means it may invest a greater portion of its assets in fewer issuers than would otherwise be the case. The fund’s assets are managed by a team of portfolio managers. Under this approach, the fund’s managers work together to oversee the fund’s entire portfolio. For more information regarding the investment process of the fund, see the “Management and organization” section of this prospectus. The fund relies on the professional judgment of its investment adviser to make decisions about the fund’s portfolio investments. The basic investment philosophy of the investment adviser is to seek to invest in attractively priced securities that, in its opinion, represent good investment opportunities. Securities may be sold when the investment adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities. |

The fund may invest in inflation-linked bonds issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations. Inflation-linked bonds are structured to protect against inflation by linking the bond’s principal and interest payments to an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers, so that principal and interest adjust to reflect changes in the index. The fund may invest in forward currency contracts, futures contracts and swaps, which are types of derivatives. A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which is based on the value of an underlying financial asset (such as a stock, bond or currency), a reference rate or a market index. The fund will invest no more than 35% of its assets in lower rated debt instruments, which are securities rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations designated by the fund’s investment adviser, or in securities that are unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the fund’s investment adviser. Such securities are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.” The fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and up to 35% of its assets in securities of emerging market issuers. The fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its primary investment strategies. The fund’s assets are managed by a team of portfolio managers. Under this approach, the fund’s managers work together to oversee the fund’s entire portfolio.

Such securities are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.” The fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities tied economically to countries outside the United States. The fund may also invest in futures contracts and swaps, which are types of derivatives.

| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | The fund seeks to maximize your level of current income and preserve your capital by investing primarily in bonds. The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in bonds and other debt securities (such as those described below), which may be represented by derivatives. Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 40% of its assets outside the United States, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the fund’s investment adviser, in which case the fund would invest at least 30% of its assets outside the United States.

The fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in debt securities rated BB+ or below or Ba1 or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations designated by the fund’s investment adviser, or in debt securities that are unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the fund’s investment adviser. Securities rated BB+ or below or Ba1 or below are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.” The fund also invests in U.S. government securities, money market instruments, and cash and cash equivalents. The fund may invest in forward currency contracts, futures contracts and swaps, which are types of derivatives. A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which is based on the value of an underlying financial asset (such as a stock, bond or currency), a reference rate or a market index. The fund seeks to hedge all, or substantially all, of the fund’s foreign currency exposure using forward currency contracts, such that under normal market conditions, the fund will maintain at least 90% of its assets in U.S. dollar currency exposure. The use of these derivative transactions may allow the fund to obtain net long or net negative (short) exposure to selected currencies. The fund may invest in a broad range of debt securities, including corporate bonds and debt securities issued by sovereign, quasi-sovereign and supranational entities. The fund may also invest in mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and other asset-backed securities, including debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables.
