Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks income with the potential for long-term capital growth by investing primarily in fixed income and/or income-oriented equity securities. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will pursue a flexible approach to investing in fixed income and/or equity asset classes anywhere in the world. Currently, it invests primarily in North America. The Fund will generally invest 30% to 70% of its assets in any one asset class, but may invest 0% to 100% of its assets in any one asset class. Allocations between asset classes are based on economic conditions and/or the portfolio manager’s assessment of relative valuations.
