Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with growth of capital.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations above $2 billion that pay or are expected to pay dividends within 12 months. Wellington Management, the sub-adviser, uses fundamental analysis to identify securities offering above-average yields, below-average valuations, and potential for dividend growth, evaluating factors including valuation, quality, free cash flow, and capital returns. The fund may hold up to 20% in foreign issuers and non-dollar securities, and may concentrate in one or more market sectors based on economic conditions.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.
