The fund primarily focuses on investing in equity securities of large companies, dedicating at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any borrowings for investment purposes, to such investments. For the purposes of this fund, a large company is defined based on its market capitalization at the time of purchase, which must fall within the range of companies listed in the Russell 1000® Index. This definition ensures that the fund targets businesses that are among the largest and most stable entities in the U.S. market, potentially offering a blend of stability and growth.
The core service offered involves investing in the equity securities of large U.S. companies.

By focusing on dividend-paying companies, the fund aims to generate income for its investors in addition to seeking long-term capital growth.
The fund specializes in investments that fall within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Index. This index represents the 1000 largest U.S. companies by market cap, which means the fund is focused on investing in some of the most significant and influential companies in the United States. This criteria ensures that the investments are made into companies that are less volatile, financially stable, and have a solid track record of performance.
An essential criterion for the fund's investment strategy is to select U.S. companies that pay dividends. Investing in dividend-paying companies provides a dual benefit: it allows investors to potentially earn regular income from their investments and also participate in the capital appreciation of these companies. This strategy seeks to balance income generation with growth, making it attractive for investors looking for both income and capital gains.
