The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return with an emphasis on current distributions and dividends paid to shareholders. The Sub-Advisor believes that a professionally managed portfolio of higher dividend paying and non-cyclical energy infrastructure companies offers an attractive balance of income and growth. The Sub-Advisor’s priority is to focus on steady fee-for-service income and will limit the cyclical energy exposure of the portfolio in order to reduce the volatility of returns. To select securities for the portfolio, the Sub-Advisor uses rigorous investment research and analytical tools along with conservative portfolio construction.
