The fund commits a significant portion of its assets to purchasing common stocks, particularly those with a history of paying dividends, and investment-grade bonds. This blend aims at providing a mix of growth through capital appreciation and income through dividends and interest payments.
Investment in securities issued and guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies forms a core part of the fund's strategy. These investments offer a level of safety and are seen as a stabilizing component for the fund's portfolio, given their lower risk profile compared to other assets.
