Industry description
The investment seeks current income and capital appreciation.
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend paying common and preferred stocks. It primarily invests in U.S. companies, but may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the stocks of publicly traded companies located in countries other than the United States. The fund may invest in derivatives, principally futures contracts, primarily to seek returns on the fund’s otherwise uninvested cash assets.
