Total return describes the return to the investor before any sales charges are imposed. Lipper average is unmanaged, is based on the average return of all funds in this category, and does not take into consideration applicable sales charges. Unless noted otherwise, Lipper averages and index returns reflect performance beginning the closest month-end date to the Fund's inception. Benchmark since inception average is based on Class A inception date. SEC standardized return describes the return to the investor after maximum sales charges are imposed. All returns assume share price changes, as well as the compounding effect of reinvested dividends and capital gains. Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Without such, returns would be lower. Inception: Class A, 1/22/1990; Class B, 3/29/1979; Class C, 8/1/1994; Class R, 6/3/2005; Class Z, 3/1/1996.

The Morningstar Rating may not be customarily calculated based on adjusted historical returns. If so, this investment's independent Morningstar Rating metric is compared against the retail mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating for certain time periods. Other share classes may have different performance characteristics. Past performance does not guarantee future results. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar rating (based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance, including the effects of sales charges), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, and the next 35% receive 3 stars (each share class is rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages). The overall Morningstar rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar rating metrics. The Fund was rated against U.S.-domiciled funds.

The Fund may invest in high yield ("junk") bonds, which are subject to greater credit and market risks; short sales, which involve costs and the risk of potentially umlimited losses; leveraging, which may magnify losses; and derivative securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no assurance the Fund's objective will be achieved.

Standard deviation depicts how widely returns vary around its average and is used to understand the range of returns most likely for a given fund. A higher standard deviation generally implies greater volatility. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
