Investment Strategy
The Fund manager believes long-term capital appreciation is a consequence of focusing on attractive “growth of dividend” investments. The strategy concentrates on:
Ensuring an above average distribution yield
The Fund will always hold a diversified portfolio of relatively high-yielding, high quality, large capitalization, global, dividend-paying common equities. Then implement a conservative options writing program around the equity positions to further increase the current income yield.
Holding high-quality, global, dividend-paying equities
Our dividend focus will generate an income stream for the Fund and its investors. In the coming years, growing income – not fixed income – is the only means of maintaining purchasing power.
Investor Suitability
This Fund is suitable for investors:
- Seeking dividend income and long-term capital growth
- Not concerned with short-term price fluctuations
- Planning to hold their investment for the long term
- Willing to accept medium level of risk
