More About Floating Rate High Income

High Income Potential in a Low-Yield World

The Fund invests primarily in bank loans, which may provide higher yields than traditional bonds; their yields may also increase when interest rates rise.

To enhance the potential for yield, the Fund also has a strategic allocation to international bank loans and high-yield bonds.

Less Sensitivity to Rising Rates

By combining domestic bank loans, international bank loans, and high-yield bonds, the Fund provides exposure to investments that are historically less affected by rising rates. This lower sensitivity to rising rates can help diversify nearly any fixed-income portfolio.

Experienced Management

Bank loans are a small asset class, which makes them difficult for individual investors to access. The Fund is run by a veteran in bank-loan investing, Michael Bacevich. He has been managing bank loans since the asset class was created and is backed by Wellington Management’s deep fixed-income resources.

Credit exposure is the credit ratings for the underlying securities of the Fund as provided by Standard and Poor's (S&P), Moody's Investors Service, or Fitch and typically range from AAA/Aaa (highest) to C/D (lowest). If S&P, Moody's, and Fitch assign different ratings, the median rating is used. If only two agencies assign ratings, the lower rating is used. Securities that are not rated by any of the three agencies are listed as "Not Rated." Ratings do not apply to the Fund itself or to Fund shares. Ratings may change.

A WORD ABOUT RISK

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee a fund will achieve its stated objective. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Loans can be difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are also subject to nonpayment, collateral, bankruptcy, default, extension, prepayment and insolvency risks. • Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. • Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and price than other securities.
Floating Rate High Income Fund should not be considered an alternative to CDs or money market funds. This fund is for investors who are looking to complement their traditional fixed-income investments.
