Strategy And Objective

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing across a broad range of asset classes. Under normal circumstances, Wellington Management Company LLP ( Wellington Management ), the Fund s sub-adviser, targets an allocation between 30% and 50% of the Fund s net assets in equity securities and 50% to 70% of the Fund s net assets in fixed income securities and cash instruments. Allocation decisions within these bands will be made at the discretion of Wellington Management and will be based on its judgment of the market cycle, market risks, volatility, trends and valuations within each asset category and expected yield and total returns of each asset category. In seeking the Fund's investment objective, Wellington Management seeks income exposure from various sources. To implement their investment ideas, the portfolio managers may allocate a portion of the Fund's assets to active strategies managed by specialized investment teams at Wellington Management that invest the allocated assets in accordance with the Fund's investment strategy. The equity portion of the Fund may invest in various types of equity instruments including, but not limited to, common stock, depositary receipts, equity linked notes, real estate-related securities, preferred stock, rights, warrants, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), and master limited partnerships.
