As of Jan. 23, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The Fund seeks long-term total return, consisting of current income and capital appreciation.
Strategy. Under normal circumstances, we invest: At least 80% of the Funds total assets in a diversified portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. income-producing securities of any quality Up to 60% of the Funds total assets in equity securities issued by U.S. or foreign (including emerging markets) issuers of any size We employ a flexible, active allocation strategy to diversify the portfolio across various asset- and sub-asset classes in an attempt to achieve the Funds objective over an economic cycle, consistent with an appropriate level of risk. We start our investment process by looking at macroeconomic factors, such as the pace of economic growth, employment conditions, corporate profits, inflation rates, monetary and fiscal policy, within the context of other even broader factors, … Under normal circumstances, we invest: At least 80% of the Funds total assets in a diversified portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. income-producing securities of any quality Up to 60% of the Funds total assets in equity securities issued by U.S. or foreign (including emerging markets) issuers of any size We employ a flexible, active allocation strategy to diversify the portfolio across various asset- and sub-asset classes in an attempt to achieve the Funds objective over an economic cycle, consistent with an appropriate level of risk. We start our investment process by looking at macroeconomic factors, such as the pace of economic growth, employment conditions, corporate profits, inflation rates, monetary and fiscal policy, within the context of other even broader factors, including the influence of international economic and financial conditions. This top-down, macroeconomic outlook helps us determine the allocations to the various asset- and sub-asset classes. Implementation of these allocations could involve either actively- or passively-managed approaches. We may allocate a maximum of 20% of the Funds assets in a manner intended to replicate the performance of indexes. Within the Funds fixed income allocation, we invest in a diversified portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. income-producing securities of any quality, and we may invest without limit in below investment-grade debt securities (often called high-yield securities or junk bonds). As part of our below investment-grade debt securities investment strategy, we will generally invest in securities that are rated BB+ through CCC- by S&P, or an equivalent quality rating from another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization, or as deemed by us to be of comparable quality. We may invest without limit in corporate bonds, government bonds, convertible bonds, loans, municipal bonds, and securitized bonds. We may invest in the debt of U.S. or foreign (including emerging markets) issuers. Within the Funds equity allocation, we generally invest in dividend paying common and preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships. We may invest in equities issued by U.S. or foreign (including emerging markets) issuers of any size. We may invest in derivatives, including listed equity and interest rate futures and swaps, either to manage the risk profile of the portfolio or to efficiently gain exposure to specific areas of the market. We regularly review the portfolio allocation to ensure that it provides optimal balance of rewards (total return, including income) and risks. We may alter the allocation to asset- and sub-asset classes available for investment if we find that increasing or decreasing allocation to an asset- or sub-asset class would provide a better balance of expected risks and rewards net of the transaction costs of implementing these changes. Within each asset- and sub-asset class, each investment is regularly reviewed and may be sold when it has achieved its valuation target, there is deterioration in the underlying fundamentals of the business, we have identified a more attractive investment opportunity, or the investment does not facilitate the replication of an indexs return and risk characteristics.
