Investment Objectives
The fund aims to achieve a high level of total investment return, consisting of dividend income and capital gains. It invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies that pay, or may be expected to pay, dividends.
Investment Strategy
The portfolio advisor identifies companies with a consistent history of paying and/or growing dividends that offer good value and the potential for growth in their industry. The portfolio advisor uses techniques such as fundamental analysis to assess growth potential and valuation.
