About WEICX
Teton Convertible Securities Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund that primarily invests in convertible securities—financial instruments that blend features of both debt and equity, such as convertible bonds and convertible preferred stock. The fund’s main objective is to achieve a balance of current income and long-term capital appreciation by allocating the vast majority of its assets—typically over 97%—to convertible instruments, with a small portion held in cash or other securities. By focusing on convertible securities, the fund seeks to capture some of the upside potential of equities while providing downside protection through bond-like characteristics. The fund’s portfolio includes exposure to both large and small growth companies and incorporates high-yield elements, diversifying across sectors such as utilities, energy, technology, and healthcare. Teton Convertible Securities Fund Class C plays a distinctive role in the market by offering investors access to a hybrid asset class that can participate in equity market gains but may be less volatile than pure stock funds, making it a unique choice within the universe of convertible-bond portfolios.
