The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to seek total return consisting of long-term capital appreciation and income at levels consistent with the fund’s asset allocation strategy. The fund will generally invest its assets to achieve a target asset allocation of approximately 40% in equity securities and 60% in fixed income securities. The asset allocation may be achieved through investments in other mutual funds or directly in individual securities.
To achieve the fund’s investment objectives, the Sub-Advisor implements an integrated investment approach that combines research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading functions. The fund’s design emphasizes long-term drivers of expected returns identified by the Sub-Advisor’s research, while balancing risk through broad diversification across companies and sectors.
