The Fund’s objective is to provide income and the potential for long term capital growth, while preserving capital and mitigating the effects of interest rate fluctuations, by investing primarily in fixed income securities including government bonds, investment grade bonds and high-yield bonds, as well as other income producing securities such as asset-backed securities and senior floating rate loans. The fundamental investment objective may only be changed with the approval of a majority of Securityholders at a meeting called for that purpose.
