The investment seeks to provide high current income and long-term capital appreciation. The fund will generally focus its investments on income producing securities. Normally, it will invest at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities, including common stock and preferred securities, certain debt securities convertible into common stock or preferred securities, and other securities with equity characteristics. Up to 20% of the fund's net assets may be invested in debt securities, including corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency debt securities.
