About the Index or Indices
Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index - 2% Issuer Cap - Is an unmanaged index that covers the USD-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. The index limits exposures to a specific issuer to a maximum 2% by market value.
The index listed is not available
for direct investment; therefore its
performance does not reflect a reduction
for fees or expenses incurred in managing
a portfolio. The securities in the
index may be substantially different
from those in the Fund.
A Word About Risk
Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk, the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk, and price volatility risk. Funds investing in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal.
