About KHYCX

DWS High Income Fund - Class C is a fixed income mutual fund designed to generate maximum current income through a diversified portfolio of high yield bonds. The fund invests at least 65% of its assets in below-investment-grade debt securities, commonly referred to as junk bonds, while maintaining a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The fund's holdings span multiple sectors and credit qualities, with emphasis on BB and B rated bonds selected through active management and credit research. It distributes income monthly to investors and targets yields significantly higher than traditional bond funds, reflecting the elevated credit and volatility risks inherent in high yield markets. The Class C share structure includes higher expense ratios compared to institutional share classes, making it accessible to individual investors with lower minimum investment requirements. Since its inception, the fund has served investors seeking enhanced income streams alongside acceptance of greater market volatility and default risk typical of below-investment-grade securities.
