Investment Strategy

The investment seeks long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital; current income is a secondary goal. To pursue its goals, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the common stock of U.S. and foreign companies. It focuses on "blue chip" multinational companies with total market values of more than $5 billion. Normally at least 40% of the fund's assets will be invested in companies that have significant exposure to the economies of countries other than the United States.
