Products and Services

• Equity Securities of Large-Capitalization Companies

  These are shares in companies with large market capitalizations, which are seen as more stable and reliable investments. Investing a significant portion of assets in these securities aligns with the fund’s goal of income generation while maintaining a foundation for potential long-term capital growth.

• Dividend-Paying Equity Securities

  Including common stocks, preferred stocks, and shares of beneficial interest in REITs, these investments are selected for their potential to generate income through dividends. This aligns with the fund’s primary objective of income provision, leveraging the recurring revenue from dividends as a steady income stream for investors.

• Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

  REITs offer an avenue for investment in real estate through the purchase of shares. These shares represent a beneficial interest in a portfolio of real estate assets, which can provide income through rental revenue and potential appreciation in the value of the real estate assets. This type of investment adds diversity to the fund’s portfolio and contributes to the secondary focus on long-term capital appreciation.

• Foreign Securities

  Up to 30% of the fund’s total assets may be allocated to foreign securities. This inclusion broadens the fund’s diversification, tapping into opportunities beyond domestic markets. Investments in foreign securities can expose the fund to new growth potentials, thereby supporting the overall objective of capital appreciation alongside income generation.
