The fund invests approximately 60% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks and 40% of its assets in fixed-income securities (such as bonds) and cash equivalents. Although this 60/40 ratio may vary, the fund will always invest at least 25% of its assets in fixed-income securities. The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities, but only in countries the Manager or Subadvisor considers stable and only in securities considered to be of high quality. It may also invest in derivatives.
