The investment seeks total return, from both appreciation of value and generation of current income, within the context of preservation of capital. The fund invests primarily in a portfolio of (i) equity securities that the adviser believes are undervalued, (ii) debt securities that offer appropriate current returns that are commensurate with related risks and (iii) private equity, based on risk and return attributes as dictated by broad market and economic conditions. It normally invests approximately 40% to 60% of the fund's total assets in equity securities and 40% to 60% in fixed income securities.
