Products and Services

The fund offers a diversified portfolio primarily consisting of the following types of income-producing equity securities:

• Common Stocks: These are shares of ownership in a company. Investing in common stocks allows the fund to generate income through dividends, with a focus on companies that are undervalued but have the potential for long-term growth.
• Preferred Stocks: These stocks are a type of equity security that typically provides higher dividend yields compared to common stocks. Preferred stocks have preferential treatment in terms of dividend payments and may be included in the fund's portfolio to achieve a higher income generation.
• Convertible Securities: This category includes bonds or preferred stocks that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the company's common stock. Convertible securities combine the income features of bonds with the potential for capital appreciation, offering a balanced approach to income generation and growth potential.
