The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of income-producing securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, investment-grade and high-yield bonds, U.S. government securities, and other fixed-income instruments; it employs an active management strategy that allocates across equity, fixed income, and alternative assets to optimize yield and total return.
