To maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
The fund pursues a value-oriented approach, selecting undervalued debt and equity securities across sectors and geographies based on bottom-up analysis of cash flow, earnings potential, asset value and relative price; it expects to hold 20–30% in below-investment-grade debt but may reach 35%, and may allocate up to 25% to foreign securities and equity-linked notes. The manager shifts between asset classes and employs equity and interest-rate derivatives to enhance returns, hedge risks or gain efficient exposure. Because security selection depends on the manager's analysis of individual issuers' fundamentals and market mispricing, results will diverge from broad market indices.

How it has done
C000020129 share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 5.42%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
This fund changed legal form during the period shown. The history above is continuous — it spans both eras, and the change is not a gap in reporting.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 96.4% |
| Floating rate | 2.3% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 1.4% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 22.1% |
| 1-3y | 8.1% |
| 3-5y | 20.7% |
| 5-10y | 34.4% |
| 10y+ | 14.8% |
These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.
Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.
| Credit spreads | 51% |
| Interest rates | 49% |
Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.
Share of the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| Investment grade | +1.52 yr |
| High yield | +0.68 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 3 mo | 0.00 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.12 yr | 6% |
| 5 yr | 0.85 yr | 40% |
| 10 yr | 0.48 yr | 22% |
| 30 yr | 0.69 yr | 32% |
| 3 mo | 0.00 yr | 0% |
| 1 yr | 0.12 yr | 5% |
| 5 yr | 0.89 yr | 40% |
| 10 yr | 0.50 yr | 23% |
| 30 yr | 0.69 yr | 31% |
The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
