The investment seeks current income with secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-paying equity securities of both U.S.-based and foreign companies. It invests primarily in common stock, preferred stock, interests in REITs, foreign securities, depositary receipts, equity-linked notes and derivatives that are believed to be attractively valued and to have the potential for long-term growth. The fund typically will invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers located in emerging markets.
