RIOCX : Columbia Income Opportunities Fund Class C

Fund Summary

The investment seeks a high total return through current income and capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the fund's assets are invested primarily in income-producing debt securities, with an emphasis on the higher rated segment of the high-yield (junk bond) market. These income-producing debt instruments include corporate debt securities as well as bank loans. The fund will purchase only debt instruments rated B or above, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. It may invest in debt instruments of any maturity and does not seek to maintain a particular dollar-weighted average maturity.
