Investment Objectives
The Fund seeks capital growth and current income by investing primarily in a combination of equity and fixed income securities of issuers located anywhere in the world. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.
Investment Strategy
The Fund’s asset mix will generally be kept within the following ranges: 60-90% equity securities; 10-40% fixed income securities, including cash and cash equivalents. The asset allocation portfolio manager will adjust the percentage of the Fund invested in each asset class based on changes in the market outlook for each asset class. The equity portfolio manager employs a blended growth and value investment style.
