The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-paying securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to provide a dividend yield greater than the average dividend yield of the equity securities in the Bloomberg US 3000 Total Return Index, measured on a gross basis. The Fund invests in companies identified by Eventide Asset Management, LLC (Eventide or the Adviser) as having strong fundamentals, creating value for stakeholders (customers, employees, supply chain, community, environment, society and shareholders), and that, in Eventide's opinion, represent above-average long-term investment opportunities for dividend income, dividend growth, and stock price capital appreciation.
