| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US high yield bonds posted strong total returns over the reporting period amid resilient economic growth, stable corporate earnings, and light net new supply against inflows into high yield bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds of approximately $14 billion. Lower-quality bonds outperformed, with CCC-rated bonds outperforming both BB-rated and B-rated bonds during the reporting period. ■ The following contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in telecom, gaming/lodging/leisure, cable & satellite, finance companies, automotives, and paper & packaging; an underweight to the US investment-grade corporate sector, along with overweights to the emerging-markets high yield and AAA collateralized loan obligation sectors; and industry underweights to media & entertainment and telecom, along with industry overweights to healthcare & pharmaceuticals, finance companies, and building materials & home construction. ■ The following detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in healthcare & pharmaceuticals, chemicals, consumer non-cyclicals, retailers & restaurants, media & entertainment, and transportation & environmental services; an underweight allocation to the US high yield corporate sector and an overweight to the US bank loan sector; and industry overweights to cable & satellite and transportation & environmental services, along with industry underweights to gaming/lodging/leisure, retailers & restaurants, and consumer non-cyclicals. ■ The Fund uses derivatives to facilitate the implementation of the overall investment approach. During the reporting period, the Fund used swaps, forwards, and futures to help manage duration positioning and yield curve exposure. (Duration measures the sensitivity of the price— the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates. A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds.) In aggregate, these positions contributed to performance during the reporting period. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US high yield bonds posted strong total returns over the reporting period amid resilient economic growth, stable corporate earnings, and light net new supply against inflows into high yield bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds of approximately $14 billion. Lower-quality bonds outperformed, with CCC-rated bonds outperforming both BB-rated and B-rated bonds during the reporting period. ■ The following contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in electric utilities, telecom, cable & satellite, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, and technology; an underweight to the US high yield corporate sector, along with overweights to the AAA collateralized loan obligation and US investment-grade corporate sectors; and industry underweights to airlines and media & entertainment, along with an industry overweight to chemicals. ■ The following detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in chemicals, paper & packaging, and upstream energy; an overweight to the US bank loan sector; and an industry overweight to cable & satellite and industry underweights to consumer non-cyclicals, retailers & restaurants, and technology. ■ The Fund uses derivatives to facilitate the implementation of the overall investment approach. During the reporting period, the Fund used swaps, forwards, and futures to help manage duration positioning and yield curve exposure. (Duration measures the sensitivity of the price— the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates. A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds.) In aggregate, these positions had a modestly positive impact on performance during the reporting period. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US high yield bonds posted strong total returns over the reporting period amid resilient economic growth, stable corporate earnings, and light net new supply against inflows into high yield bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds of approximately $14 billion. Lower-quality bonds outperformed, with CCC-rated bonds outperforming both BB-rated and B-rated bonds during the reporting period. ■ The following contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in electric utilities, cable & satellite, automotives, technology, and finance companies; an overweight to the emerging-markets high yield sector; and an industry underweight to media & entertainment, along with industry overweights to electric utilities, airlines, and building materials & home construction. ■ The following detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: security selection in telecom, chemicals, midstream energy, retailers & restaurants, aerospace & defense, and paper & packaging; an overweight to the US bank loan sector, along with an underweight to the US high yield corporate sector; and industry overweights to cable & satellite, telecom and metals & mining, along with industry underweights to technology and retailers & restaurants. ■ The Fund uses derivatives to facilitate the implementation of the overall investment approach. During the reporting period, the Fund used swaps, forwards, and futures to help manage duration positioning and yield curve exposure. (Duration measures the sensitivity of the price— the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates. A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds.) In aggregate, these positions modestly detracted from performance during the reporting period. |
