The investment seeks to provide above-average and growing income, and, secondarily, seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. The fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of above-average dividend-yielding, undervalued equity securities with capital appreciation and dividend growth potential. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets will be invested in equity securities of companies that have announced dividend paying programs at the time such companies’ equity securities are purchased.
