Description

The investment seeks to generate a total pre-tax return, including capital growth and dividends, that is greater than the rate of inflation over a three-to-five-year period. The fund invests primarily in common stocks, but may also invest in other types of equity securities, such as real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), or other similar publicly traded securities (such as convertible preferred stocks and convertible debentures). The Adviser generally selects securities for the fund's portfolio based on individual stocks rather than on industries or industry groups.
