Objective
Seeks a high level of current income consistent with growth of capital.
Overview
A dividend-focused fund that seeks companies with above-average yields, below-average valuations, and the ability to sustain and/or grow dividends.
Dividends Are a Sign of Strength
We believe companies that initiate or consistently grow their dividends display confidence in the future health of their companies and a commitment to their shareholders.
We Use a Disciplined Stock Selection Process
We look for companies that meet the following criteria:
- Sustainable and/or growing dividends (or plans to initiate a dividend)
- Strong balance sheets
- Reasonable valuations
- Temporarily out of favor
- Strong management teams
Experience and Resources Can Give Us an Edge
The Fund management is backed by a large and experienced team of dedicated analysts and the full resources of sub-adviser Wellington Management.

Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • For dividend-paying stocks, dividends are not guaranteed and may decrease without notice. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Different investment styles may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments.
