The fund has the flexibility to allocate a portion of its capital to developing economies, either through issuers operating in emerging markets or by holding debt denominated in their currencies. Additionally, a maximum of 15% of its holdings may comprise lower-rated debt, including those classified as below investment grade or comparable unrated securities.
