Currently, the manager defines a small-cap company to be one whose market capitalization either falls within the capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index, an index that tracks stocks of 2,000 of the smallest U.S. companies, or is $3 billion or less at the time of investment.
The investment seeks results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities in the Russell 1000 Index. The fund invests substantially all of its assets (at least 80%) in securities listed in the Russell 1000 Index.

The fund invests primarily in U.S. fixed-income and floating rate securities, including fixed and floating rate loans that have a senior right to repayment ("Senior Loans").
The investment seeks to deliver a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

Fixed income securities in which the fund may invest include foreign and domestic bonds, notes, corporate debt, convertible debt securities, preferred securities, U.S. and foreign government securities, domestic municipal securities, asset-backed securities and STRIPS. The fund's effective average duration will normally be three years or less.
