Under normal market conditions, the Adviser selects equity securities that the adviser believes are out of favor and undervalued. The Adviser then attempts to purchase the securities and hold them until the adviser believes that the securities have reached their fair value. To earn additional income, the fund, through its agent, may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers amounting to no more than 33-1/3% of the total assets of the fund (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of the fund (excluding any collateral posted).
