The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in U.S. dollar denominated, investment-grade, fixed-income securities. In addition, the Fund may invest in high-yield, non-U.S. dollar denominated, and emerging market fixed-income securities when Federated Investment Management Company (the Adviser) considers the riskreturn prospects of those sectors to be attractive. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in noninvestment-grade debt securities (otherwise known as junk bonds). The amount of any unhedged non-U.S. dollar denominated fixedincome securities and foreign currencies in the Funds portfolio will normally not exceed 10% of the Funds total assets.
