Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies that pay dividends, or that are expected to pay dividends, and, to a lesser extent, in other types of securities, such as trusts and preferred shares, that are expected to distribute income.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: primarily invests in dividend-focused equities denominated in U.S. dollars; examines the financial statistics of each potential investment, looking for: - an attractive price - consistent earnings - evidence that the company’s management believes in the future of the company - the ability to pay dividends - sustainability of the dividends or expected dividends.
