The investment seeks capital appreciation with the incidental goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of large companies, including common stocks, and debt and preferred stocks which are convertible to common stock. Assets means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Large companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 1000® Value Index at the time of purchase.
