This fund aims for long-term growth of capital, with the additional objective of preserving initial investments. It allocates assets primarily to stocks of companies based in the U.S. or listed on American securities exchanges. The fund's strategy is designed to maintain exposure to the U.S. equity market while actively working to mitigate substantial and prolonged downturns and temper overall price fluctuations. It may also employ inverse exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are structured to deliver returns that move in the opposite direction of an underlying benchmark index, such as the S&P 500®.
