Yield to worst is only an estimation of future return, because both future cash flows and the rate of return at which coupon payments can be reinvested when received are unknown. This figure is subject to change and is not meant to represent the rate of return earned by any particular client. This information has been prepared for sophisticated investors.

Data presented is that of a single representative account ("Representative Account") that invests in the investment grade style. It is the account whose investment guidelines allow the greatest flexibility to express active management positions. It is managed with the same investment objectives and employs substantially the same investment philosophy and processes as the proposed investment strategy. 1 Totals may not sum due to rounding. † Ratings are provided by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s which are independent third parties. When ratings for S&P and Moody's are not available, we will substitute other nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations such as Fitch or DBRS. In order to be more conservative, when ratings differ, the lower rating is used. Quality ratings reflect the credit quality of the underlying issues in the fund portfolio and not of the fund itself. Information obtained from third parties is believed to be reliable, but cannot be guaranteed. Issuers with credit ratings of AA or better are considered to be of high credit quality, with little risk of issuer failure. Issuers with credit ratings of BBB or better are considered to be of good credit quality, with adequate capacity to meet financial commitments. Issuers with credit ratings below BBB are considered speculative in nature and are vulnerable to the possibility of issuer failure or business interruption.
