This fund offers investors the potential for high current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-yielding, high-risk bonds in emerging markets in Latin America, central Europe, and Asia. Access to these markets is important, because bonds from emerging nations can offer yields that are considerably above those provided by high-quality U.S. and foreign bonds, as well as higher capital appreciation potential.

This fund involves a high-risk approach to income from foreign bonds and its share price could fluctuate significantly. The fund is subject to the risks unique to international investing, including unfavorable changes in currency values. In addition, there are interest rate and credit risks normally associated with investing in bonds as well.
*Funds are placed in general risk/return categories based on their past performance or, for newer funds, the performance of the types of securities in which they invest. There is no assurance past trends will continue.
