This fund primarily allocates at least 80% of its total assets to equity investments. Its investment strategy employs a balanced target allocation, typically dedicating approximately 50% to common stocks, around 15% to real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other property-related holdings, another 15% to convertible securities, and about 20% to preferred shares. The fund's objective is to select equity securities that offer both consistent dividend payments and opportunities for capital appreciation, often leading to a focus on "value" stocks within its common stock portfolio.
