Potentially investing in other types of equity securities and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds). Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments. Potentially using covered call options as tools in managing the fund's assets. The Adviser's emphasis on income-producing equity securities tends to lead to investments in large cap "value" stocks. However, the Adviser is not constrained by any particular investment style.
