Fund Description

The fund seeks to invest primarily in common stocks of companies likely to participate in the growth of the American economy and whose dividends appear sustainable, with investments mainly in the United States and Canada. Equity holdings are limited to companies on an eligible list, selected chiefly based on strong balance sheets and sustainable dividend prospects. It focuses on medium to larger capitalization companies but is not limited by capitalization size. The fund may also invest in investment-grade or equivalent-quality bonds and other debt securities, including U.S. government and agency issues, and is managed by multiple portfolio managers overseeing segmented sleeves.
