FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks total return through long term capital appreciation and current income. The fund invests primarily in common stocks that are undervalued and have good prospects for earnings growth. It generally focuses on large-cap stocks that are diversified across many industries. Security selection is based upon a range of financial criteria including relatively low price to earnings and price to book ratios and underlying asset values that are not reflected in securities' market prices. The fund may also invest in REITs, convertible securities, preferred stocks and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).
