Investment Objectives
Maximize income while maintaining prospects for long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of debt and equity securities issued in the U.S. The fundamental investment objective may only be changed with the approval of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.
Investment Strategy
The portfolio advisor employs fundamental analysis in selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio. The portfolio advisor may, from time to time, concentrate the Fund’s investments in a particular sector. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may invest in debt instruments, including fixed-income and floating-rate instruments, government and corporate bonds, inflation-linked bonds, ABS and MBS, corporate loans and convertible securities.
