Fund Description
The Fund is designed as a balanced fund that seeks income and long-term capital appreciation with reduced volatility of returns. The Portfolio Managers’ approach places a focus on seeking downside protection. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest up to 70% of its assets in equity securities and its remaining assets in fixed income securities.
The Fund invests primarily in domestic companies whose securities are listed on U.S. national securities exchanges. The Fund may also invest in (i) foreign companies listed on U.S. national securities exchanges and (ii) foreign companies through American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), which are U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers listed on U.S. national securities exchanges. Investments consist primarily of common stocks, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, and debt instruments. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Fund may also invest in preferred stocks, equity-like instruments, and high-yield bonds. The Fund may invest directly in fixed income securities or it may invest indirectly in fixed income securities by investing in other investment companies (including exchange-traded funds, referred to as ETFs) that invest in fixed income securities. The Fund invests without regard to market capitalization.
Equity Allocation
The equity Portfolio Managers utilize a fundamental, value-oriented investment approach, focusing on larger, high-quality companies with demonstrated market dominance, low business risk, and solid long-term growth prospects. In choosing which securities to purchase, the equity Portfolio Managers give consideration to companies that have shareholder-oriented management, with a history of alignment with shareholder interests through stock incentives, insider buying, and corporate stock buybacks. Many of the stocks held by the Fund are expected to pay dividends. Generally, the equity Portfolio Managers may choose to sell a position if it begins to have a significant negative effect on total portfolio value, if they believe it has reached an excessive valuation level, when the company’s fundamentals deteriorate, or when a more attractive candidate is identified through the screening process.
Fixed Income Allocation
The fixed income Portfolio Managers focus on higher quality, intermediate-term fixed income securities, but they may invest up to 10% of the Fund’s assets in high-yield bonds.
The fixed income Portfolio Managers continuously analyze and assess the variables that influence bond prices. They use this proprietary approach, which combines economic data and technical factors, to evaluate the probability of interest rate movements in order to manage the duration of the portfolio in an effort to mitigate downside risk and maximize total return. They purchase and sell securities in accordance with these principles to meet previously identified sector allocations, duration targets, and curve strategies for the fixed income allocation of the Fund.
As of January 31, 2026, the bonds and cash equivalents held in the fixed income allocation of the Fund had a dollar-weighted average effective maturity of 4.42 years.
