The Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, under normal market conditions, it is currently expected that the Fund will invest a substantial percentage of its assets in large-capitalization issuers. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, a majority of its net assets in income-producing equity investments, including, dividend paying common or preferred stocks, interest paying convertible debentures or bonds, or zero coupon convertible securities (on which the Fund accrues income for tax and accounting purposes, but receives no cash). The Fund may invest in income-producing equity instruments, debt securities and warrants or rights to acquire such securities, in such proportions as economic conditions indicate would best accomplish the Funds objectives. It is the current operating policy of the Fund to invest in debt securities rated investment grade. This operating policy does not apply to convertible securities, which are selected primarily on the basis of their equity characteristics. The Fund also invests in U.S. government obligations, including Treasury bills and notes, and obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers, which may include depositary receipts. The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund can use futures contracts to seek exposure to certain asset classes, to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated and to manage duration. The Fund can use options to seek investment return or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. In selecting securities, the portfolio managers focus on a securitys potential for income with safety of principal and long-term growth of capital. The portfolio managers emphasize a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. The portfolio managers look for catalysts for change that may positively impact a company. This catalyst could come from within the company in the form of new management, operational enhancements, restructuring or reorganization. It could also be an external factor, such as an improvement in industry conditions or a regulatory change. The aim is to uncover these catalysts for change, and then benefit from potential stock price appreciation of the change taking place at the company. The Fund may dispose of a security when, in the opinion of the portfolio managers, the security reaches the portfolio managers estimate of its value or when the portfolio managers identify a more attractive investment opportunity. In attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription and redemption requests, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities. Show less
