Summary
The investment seeks growth of capital and growth of income consistent with reasonable risk. To pursue its objective, under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of large, seasoned, U.S. and multinational companies. It uses a "blend" strategy to invest in both growth and value stocks, or in stocks with characteristics of both. The fund may invest in U.S. and foreign (which may include emerging market) companies. Foreign companies may be traded on U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchanges and may include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs").
