The fund’s objective is to achieve long-term capital growth and current income return. It invests, either directly or through investing in securities of other funds, primarily in equity securities of companies that pay dividends or that are expected to pay dividends, fixed income securities, and other securities that are expected to distribute income.
The portfolio adviser uses fundamental analysis to identify investments that pay dividends and income and/or have the potential for capital growth over the long term. This involves evaluating the financial condition and management of each company, as well as its industry and the economy. The Fund’s assets are diversified by industry and company to help reduce risk.
