Description

The fund primarily directs its investments toward large-capitalization value stocks, specifically those characterized by significant market values and above-average dividend payouts. Additionally, it may allocate capital to other equity-linked income vehicles like preferred shares, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and master limited partnerships (MLPs). Although its principal holdings are in U.S. securities, the fund maintains the option to invest up to 30% of its overall assets in foreign securities, including companies based in emerging markets.
