FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks maximal total return. The Fund uses an asset allocation strategy, investing varying percentages of its portfolio in three major categories: stocks, bonds and, to a lesser extent, money market instruments. It primarily buys common stock but also can invest in preferred stock, convertible securities and certain derivative securities. The fund invests primarily in dollar-denominated investment grade bonds, but may invest up to 20% of the fund's fixed income allocation in junk bonds or non-dollar denominated bonds or bonds of emerging market issuers.
