The fund's primary investment strategy involves allocating capital to equity securities issued by both U.S. and international corporations. Its permissible stock holdings encompass conventional common shares along with "common stock equivalents." These equivalents include instruments like rights or warrants, which grant the holder the option to purchase common stock, and convertible securities, which can be exchanged for common shares. The fund maintains the flexibility to invest in companies of any size, ranging from small- and mid-capitalization enterprises to larger ones.
