The fund's primary investment objective is to provide an attractive level of after-tax current income. The fund's secondary objective is capital preservation.
The fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in adjustable rate preferred stock and other adjustable rate securities that the fund believes at the time of investment are eligible to pay dividends that qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment (eligibility for the "dividends received deductions" or classified as "qualified dividend income"). At least 90% of the fund's managed assets will be invested in securities, that, at the time of investment, are rated investment grade, or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality. The fund expects that a substantial portion of its investments will be invested in securities issued by banking companies and other financial institutions, including securities of middle market banking companies, but may invest up to 25% of its managed assets in investment-grade securities issued by non-financial companies.
