To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. It seeks to focus on dividend-paying stocks of companies located in the developed capital markets, such as the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong and Western Europe. The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in emerging markets. It ordinarily invests in at least three countries, and, at times, may invest a substantial portion of its assets in a single country.
