This fund's primary objective is to achieve substantial long-term capital appreciation and generate future income. It dedicates a minimum of 80% of its net assets, including any capital borrowed for investment, to equity instruments such as common and preferred stocks. The portfolio's core focus is on a curated selection of large and mid-capitalization companies—those with market values of $2 billion or more—which the investment adviser identifies as having either a strong history of above-average growth or significant potential for future expansion. Additionally, the fund has the flexibility to allocate up to 25% of its total assets to international holdings and may commit up to 20% of its net assets (plus any borrowed funds for investment) to debt securities.
