The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, including depositary receipts. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of emerging markets issuers. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in REITs. The Fund also may invest in investment-grade and below-investment-grade debt securities (known as junk bonds). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in junk bonds, including below-investment-grade convertible debt securities. The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives, such as stock index futures and options. The Fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, including: in an attempt to hedge against adverse changes in the market price of securities, interest rates or currency exchange rates; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; to attempt to increase the Funds return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative; to manage portfolio characteristics; and as a cash flow management technique. The Fund may choose not to make use of derivatives for a variety of reasons, and any use may be limited by applicable law and regulations. The Fund also may hold cash or other short-term investments. The Adviser uses a value approach to select the Funds investments to buy and sell. The Adviser seeks securities that are selling at substantial discounts to their underlying values and then holds these securities until the market values reflect their intrinsic values. The Adviser evaluates a securitys potential value, including the attractiveness of its market valuation, based on the companys assets and prospects for earnings growth. In making these assessments, the adviser employs fundamental research and an evaluation of the issuer based on its financial statements and operations, employing a bottom-up analytic style, which focuses on specific securities rather than on industries. The Adviser generally sells a portfolio security when it believes that the securitys market value reflects its underlying value. The Adviser integrates environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) considerations into its investment research process by evaluating the business models and practices of issuers and their ESG-related risks. ESG considerations are not a primary focus of the Fund, and the weight given by the Adviser to ESG considerations in making investment decisions will vary and, for any specific decision, they may be given little or no weight.
