The fund invests in a combination of equity and debt securities. It is primarily equity-oriented, and uses a top-down approach in seeking to provide equity-like returns but with lower volatility than a fully invested equity portfolio. The fund will typically invest 30% to 70% of its assets in equity securities and 70% to 30% in debt securities, and the balance of the fund's assets in cash or cash equivalents. It may also invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign equity securities and in EDRs or ADRs.
