Investment Objective The investment seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and reasonable current income. The fund invests 60% to 70% of its assets in dividend-paying and, to a lesser extent, non-dividend-paying common stocks of established large and mid-size companies. The advisor seeks those that appear to be undervalued but have prospects for improvement. The remaining 30% to 40% of the assets are invested mainly in fixed income securities that the advisor believes will generate a reasonable level of current income. These securities include investment-grade corporate bonds, with some exposure to U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds, and mortgage-backed securities.
