Growth of capital and current income are near-equal objectives for these funds. Investments are typically selected for both appreciation potential and dividend-paying ability.

Stock funds which attempt to provide both capital growth as well as income. Usually these funds provide a dividend yield above that of the overall stock market. Typically they invest in dividend-paying stocks. They may also buy bonds.

These mutual funds invest in securities that provide a combination of growth and income. They generally funnel most of their assets into common stocks of well-established companies that pay regular dividends. They may also invest in high-rated bonds.

A mutual fund that strives to provide long-term growth of principal and income and current dividend income from stocks.

A mutual fund that pursues long-term growth of capital as well as current dividend income from stocks. This would describe virtually all stock mutual funds to some degree, but the term is used to designate a fund that expressly dedicates a portion of its assets to stocks that pay higher dividends.

A mutual fund that seeks both capital appreciation and a reasonable income. It is somewhat more conservative in its investments than a growth fund.

A mutual fund that seeks both capital appreciation and current income by investing in dividend-paying and growth stocks for capital appreciation and bonds for current income. A growth and income fund combines long-term capital gains with steady income. Growth and income funds are generally good investments for investors who find growth funds too risky or depend on the income produced by their assets.

A fund that primarily invests in companies that are producing income as well as potential for capital growth, usually invests in large companies.

Investment primarily in common stocks of companies with long track records, having both the potential for higher share value and a solid record of paying dividends.

A mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital as its primary objective. Current income is a secondary objective. Growth-and-income funds typically buy shares of large companies that have good prospects for future-earnings growth and solid dividend payment histories. They are generally more value-oriented than growth-oriented in style, since value stocks produce more dividend income than growth stocks. From a risk perspective, growth and income funds tend to move in tandem with the broad-market averages, such as the S&P 500. The upside is that growth-and-income funds tend to be less volatile than the overall market. The downside is that such funds aren't generally the leaders on a total-return basis.

A growth and income fund is a mutual fund that focuses on companies with strong earnings growth and dividend payments.
