Products and Services

• Common Stocks:

  The fund invests in common stocks of companies, which represent shares of ownership and typically come with voting rights. These are chosen based on their potential to provide income through dividends, along with the possibility of capital gains.

• Preferred Stocks:

  Preferred stocks offer a fixed dividend, which makes them an attractive income-producing security. Unlike common stocks, they typically do not come with voting rights, but they have a higher claim on assets in the event of liquidation.

• Investment Company Securities:

  This includes investments in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and closed-end funds that primarily focus on equity securities. By investing in these vehicles, the fund can diversify its holdings and gain exposure to a larger portfolio of income-producing assets.

• REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts):

  Equity interests in REITs allow the fund to invest in portfolios of real estate assets. REITs are known for distributing a majority of their taxable income as dividends, making them a potent source of income.
