The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of above-average dividend-yielding, undervalued equity securities with capital appreciation and dividend growth potential. Above-average dividend yield means the dividend yield is 25% greater than the market as measured by the S&P 500 Index at the time of initial purchase. In identifying companies with dividend growth potential, the Advisor focuses on finding companies with secure and growing dividends. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in equity securities of companies that have announced dividend paying programs at the time such companies’ equity securities are purchased. The Fund’s equity securities primarily include common stocks, but may also include covered call options. The Fund seeks to make quarterly distributions of dividends and income to shareholders.

The Advisor seeks to acquire equity securities of companies which, in its judgment, possess attractive valuation characteristics, the capability for above-average dividend yield and the potential to increase dividends over time. The Fund invests in a variety of major market sectors in an attempt to control risk through diversification. The Fund also seeks to enhance, or generate, additional portfolio income by selectively writing, or selling, covered call options on a target range of between 15-30% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund writes options only for income generation and hedging purposes and not for speculation. The aggregate value of the equity securities on which the options are written will normally not exceed 30% of the Fund’s net assets, but may increase to 50% of net assets when, in the Advisor’s opinion, such investments would be advantageous to the Fund.

While portfolio securities are generally acquired for the long-term, the Fund may sell holdings when the dividend yield falls below the Advisor’s yield objective, or the dividend outlook deteriorates such as when the fundamentals of a company’s business (i.e., earnings, cash flows or debt levels) have worsened). The Advisor may also sell holdings if the anticipated price appreciation has been achieved or if the fundamentals of the company’s business, general market conditions have changed, in the Advisor’s opinion, enough that they are no longer attractive, or when the Advisor’s selection process described above identifies alternative investments that it believes offer more attractive dividend yield and/or price appreciation.

Equity Securities. The Fund will invest primarily in companies with market capitalizations of $1.5 billion or more.

Covered Call Options. When the Advisor believes that individual equity securities held by the Fund are approaching the top of the Advisor’s growth and price expectations,

covered call options may be written (sold) against such securities and the Fund will receive a cash premium in return. The Advisor’s growth and price expectations for the equity securities held by the Fund are based on the Advisor’s analysis of factors such as revenue growth, profit margin potential, profitability, financial flexibility, free cash flow, competitive position, and management track record for each security. The Fund writes options only for income generation and hedging purposes and not for speculation.

Distributions. The Fund’s distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. The Fund may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that are unrelated to the Fund’s performance, such as a return of capital. Return of capital distributions are taken from the amount invested in the Fund by a shareholder, not from the Fund’s performance. All or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit.
