Summary
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. Equity securities in which the fund may invest include common stock and common stock equivalents (such as rights, warrants and convertible securities), exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that invest primarily in equity securities, preferred stock, and equity real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Although it primarily invests in large-cap and mid-cap companies, outstanding small-cap companies will not be excluded because of size if they present opportunities for value.
