To pursue its goal, the Fund invests in income-oriented equity securities that the Portfolio Managers believe will be able to grow their dividends over time. The Fund strives to deliver a total return with lower volatility relative to the Russell 1000® Value index. Additionally, the Fund seeks to generate a current yield that is greater than the average current yield for stocks in the Russell 1000 Value Index. By selecting these types of equity securities, the Fund seeks to dampen the market volatility associated with investing in equity securities.
The Fund typically employs a “value” approach in selecting investments. The Portfolio Managers use a bottom-up, research driven approach to identify companies that they believe have the ability to sustain and potentially to grow their free cash flow and are trading at a discount to what the Portfolio Managers believe to be their net present values. The approach involves examining companies for the presence of potential catalysts that will lead to the creation of value, such as regulatory changes, competitive shifts, reaccelerating earnings, and corporate/management restructuring. The Portfolio Managers also utilize various measures of value, including price-to-earnings ratios, price-to-book ratios and discounted free cash flows, among others.
As part of their fundamental investment analysis the Portfolio Managers consider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors they believe are financially material to individual investments, where applicable, as described below. While this analysis is inherently subjective and may be informed by both internally generated and third-party metrics, data and other information, the Portfolio Managers believe that the consideration of financially material ESG factors, alongside traditional financial metrics, may
enhance the Fund’s overall investment process. The consideration of ESG factors does not apply to certain instruments, such as certain derivative instruments, other registered investment companies, cash and cash equivalents. The consideration of ESG factors as part of the investment process does not mean that the Fund pursues a specific “impact” or “sustainable” investment strategy.
The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and other real estate companies, convertible securities (including convertible preferred stock, which receives preference in the payment of dividends) and common stocks. The Fund defines a real estate company as one that derives at least 50% of its revenue or profits from real estate, or has at least 50% of its assets invested in real estate. The Fund may emphasize the real estate and utilities sectors of the market at any given time and may invest up to 40% of its total assets in each of these sectors. The Fund may invest in convertible securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”) or, if unrated, are determined by the Portfolio Managers to be of comparable quality.
The Fund also uses derivatives, including futures contracts on individual securities and indices, and options, including writing (selling) calls against positions in the portfolio (“covered calls”) or writing (selling) puts on individual stocks, in an effort to enhance returns.
The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. Although the Fund invests primarily in domestic equity securities, it may also invest in equity securities of foreign companies, including those in emerging markets.
The Portfolio Managers follow a disciplined selling strategy and may sell a security when it reaches a target price, if a company’s business fails to perform as expected, when other opportunities appear more attractive or when the Portfolio Managers believe the security has grown too large relative to the rest of the portfolio.
The Fund will not change its strategy of normally investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, without providing shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. For this purpose, equity securities include common stock, preferred stock and securities convertible into common or preferred stock. This test is applied at the time the Fund invests; later percentage changes caused by a change in Fund assets, market values or company circumstances will not require the Fund to dispose of a holding.
