Summary
The investment seeks to offer long-term capital growth with consistency derived from dividend yield. The fund invests normally at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities (common and preferred stock). It seeks to invest primarily in the common stocks of U.S. companies that the fund's subadvisers believe will pay dividends at above-market levels. The fund may exhibit greater sensitivity to certain economic factors (e.g., changing interest rates) than will the general stock market. It may invest across companies of all sizes but generally focuses on larger capitalization companies, which tend to have stable long-term earnings and dividend-paying records.
